The clipboard can accept data in three standard formats: text, bit map, and metafile. Applications can either use these formats or create their own private formats.
All PM applications can access the clipboard, so applications can copy to the clipboard the same selection of data in many different formats. For example, a word processor that supports multiple fonts might write the same selection of text to the clipboard in three different formats: straight text, rich text, and metafile. Then, another application (pasting from the clipboard) could choose the appropriate format.
Applications can use the following constants to specify the standard clipboard-data formats:
