 win32 msgs: WM_RENDERALLFORMATS

The WM_RENDERALLFORMATS message is sent to the clipboard owner before it is destroyed, if the clipboard owner has delayed rendering one or more clipboard formats. For the content of the clipboard to remain available to other applications, the clipboard owner must render data in all the formats it is capable of generating, and place the data on the clipboard by calling the SetClipboardData function.

A window receives this message through its WindowProc function.

    LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(
      HWND hwnd,       // handle to window
      UINT uMsg,       // WM_RENDERALLFORMATS
      WPARAM wParam,   // not used
      LPARAM lParam    // not used
    );

Parameters

Return Values
