+Clipboard</title><shortdesc>Clipboard allows applications to read and write data to and from
+a shared clipboard. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><taskbody>
+<context>       <p>The clipboard is implemented as a direct file store, as
+defined in the File Store API. Data placed on the clipboard is in streams.
+Every data type placed on the clipboard is identified by a UID. The store
+has a stream dictionary to allow an application to retrieve the data by specifying
+its UID. </p> <p>The clipboard class, <xref href="GUID-9C1E9536-01E8-3C0E-B1C5-F0A597ED0CA3.dita"><apiname>CClipboard</apiname></xref>, provides
+operations to get the clipboard file store and stream dictionary. Applications
+then read or write data using the standard store and stream interfaces. It
+also provides special support for copying and pasting a <codeph>TReal</codeph> to
+and from the clipboard. </p> <p>To place data on the clipboard, construct
+a <codeph>CClipboard</codeph> object and prepare it for the data to be written,
+using the <codeph>NewForWritingLC()</codeph> static member function as illustrated
+in the following code fragment: </p> <codeblock id="GUID-9A1E8DF1-2BA9-5DFE-BFEA-749592A35E84" xml:space="preserve">CClipboard* cb = CClipboard::NewForWritingLC( fsSession );</codeblock> <p>The function requires a file server session. </p> <p>The file associated
+with the clipboard's store may or may not exist. If it already exists, any
+existing content is discarded; if the file does not exist, it is created.
+In either event, <codeph>NewForWritingLC()</codeph> results in an empty clipboard. </p> <p>Once
+the <codeph>CClipboard</codeph> object has been created, data is stored into
+the clipboard 's store. Both the store (<codeph>CStreamStore</codeph>) and
+the stream dictionary (<codeph>CStreamDictionary</codeph>), which the example
+needs to access, are encapsulated by <codeph>CClipboard</codeph>. The class,
+therefore, provides the <codeph>Store()</codeph> and <codeph>StreamDictionary()</codeph> member
+functions to return suitable references. </p>      </context>
