| Description | ||
| *Note* | This directive is for Windows or WindX only. | |
| Use the CLIP_BOARD directive to have ProvideX application read or write to the Windows clipboard. Only text can be passed to/from the clipboard. You can read a maximum of 32000 bytes using ProvideX to access the clipboard. The write limit depends on the system. ProvideX does not interpret the data in the clipboard. Because of this, carriage return $0D$ and line feed $0A$characters are present in multi-line clipboard data when it is read. You should place these characters between the lines when writing to the clipboard. |
