Registering a Clipboard Format

To register a clipboard format, add a call to the RegisterClipboardFormat function to your application's instance initialization function, as follows.

// Register a clipboard format. 
 
LoadString(hinstCurrent, IDS_FORMATNAME, atchTemp, 
    sizeof(atchTemp)); 
uLabelFormat = RegisterClipboardFormat(atchTemp); 
if (uLabelFormat == 0) 
    return FALSE;
