L_LTANN_API L_INT L_AnnCopyToClipboard(hObject, uFormat, fSelected, fEmpty, fCheckMenu)

HANNOBJECT hObject;	/* handle to the annotation object */
L_UINT uFormat;	/* constant for the clipboard format */
L_BOOL fSelected;	/* flag that indicates which objects to copy */
L_BOOL fEmpty;	/* flag that indicates whether to empty the clipboard prior to copying data to it */
L_BOOL fCheckMenu;	/* flag that indicates whether to check the automation menu */

Copies the specified annotation objects to the Windows clipboard in either the native format or WMF format. This function is available in both the (Document/Medical) toolkits.

Parameter	Description
hObject	Handle to the annotation object.
uFormat	Format for the annotation data. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	ANNFMT_WMF	Use the Windows WMF format.
	ANNFMT_XML	Use the XML text format. This is LEADs new text-based format which is upward-compatible.
fSelected	Flag that indicates whether to copy all selected objects, or just the specified object. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Copy all objects that have the selected property set to TRUE. For getting and setting the selected property, use the L_AnnGetSelected and L_AnnSetSelected functions.
	FALSE	Copy only the specified object.
fEmpty	Flag that indicates whether to empty the clipboard prior to copying the annotation data to it. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Empty the clipboard before copying data to it.
	FALSE	Add to the existing data on the clipboard.
fCheckMenu	Flag that indicates whether check the automation menu to see if ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_COPY has been checked. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Check the automation menu to see if ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_COPY has been checked for the specified object. Only those objects with ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_COPY checked will be copied.
	FALSE	Do not check the automation menu to see if ANNAUTOTEXT_MENU_COPY has been checked for the specified object. The copied objects are determined by fSelected only.

Returns

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

Comments

(Document/Medical) Use the WMF format only for copying for use in another application.

To retain scaling and positioning information, this function always copies the root container, along with the specified object or selected objects. Use the hObject and fSelected parameters as follows:

$image\sqrblit.gif$ To copy the specified object, set hObject to that object and set fSelected to FALSE.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ To copy only selected objects in a container, set hObject to the container and set fSelected to TRUE.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ To copy all objects in a container, set hObject to the container and set fSelected to FALSE.
