L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_VecCopyToClipboard(hWnd, pVector, dwFlags)

HWND hWnd;	/* handle to the active window */
const pVECTORHANDLE pVector;	/* pointer to the vector handle */
L_UINT32 dwFlags;	/* copy flags */

Copies vector data from the specified vector handle to the clipboard.

Parameter	Description
hWnd	Handle to the active window.
pVector	Pointer to the vector handle that references the vector data to be copied.

	Value	Meaning
	0	Copy all layers and objects from the source vector to the clipboard.
	VECTOR_FLAGS_SELECTED_ONLY	Copy only selected objects from the source vector to the clipboard.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function first empties the clipboard, then copies the vector data to it.

To determine whether valid vector data is on the clipboard, call L_VecClipboardReady.

To copy vector data from the clipboard to a vector handle, call L_VecCopyFromClipboard.

/* This example loads a vector image and copies it to the clipboard, then deletes the original image */
void CopyImage(HWND hWnd)
{
   VECTORHANDLE   LeadVector; /* Vector handle for the image */

   /* Load a vector image */
   L_VecLoadFile(TEXT("IMAGE.DXF"), &LeadVector, NULL, NULL );

   /* Copy the bitmap to the clipboard */
   L_VecCopyToClipboard(hWnd, &LeadVector, 0L);

   /* Delete the original vector, leaving the copy in the clipboard */
   L_VecFree( &LeadVector );
