- .CLP Clipboard File Format
-
- Microsoft Windows Clipboard (CLIPBRD.EXE) saves and reads its data in files with the .CLP extension. A .CLP file contains a value
- identifying it as a Clipboard data file; one or more structures defining the format, size, and location of the data; and one or more blocks
- of actual data.
-
- Clipboard-File Header
-
- The Clipboard data file begins with a header consisting of two members. Following are the members in this header:
-
- FileIdentifier Identifies the file as a Clipboard data file. This member must be set to CLP_ID. This is a 2-byte value.
- FormatCount Specifies the number of clipboard formats contained in the file. This is a 2-byte value.
-
- Clipboard-File Structure
-
- The header is followed by one or more structures, each of which identifies the format, size, and offset of a block containing
- clipboard data. Following are the members in this structure:
-
- FormatID Specifies the clipboard-format identifier of the clipboard data. For a description of the various formats that are
- available, see the description of SetClipboardData. This is 2-byte value.
- LenData Specifies the length, in bytes, of the clipboard data. This is a 4-byte value.
- OffData Specifies the offset, in bytes, of the clipboard-data block. The offset is from the beginning of the file. This is a 4-byte
- value.
- Name Identifies a 79-character array specifying the format name of a private clipboard format.
-
- The first block of clipboard data follows the last of these structures. For bitmaps and metafiles, the bits follow immediately after the
- bitmap header and the METAFILEPICT structures.
