Clipboard Format Description

3270 5250 VT

HostExplorer uses a private clipboard format that is dynamically registered with the Windows operating system. Therefore, there is no pre-assigned type for this format. The only way to check the format is to get the format value and call GetClipboardFormatName and see if the name is WIN3270.

To prevent any conversion problems, all normal screen data is stored in EBCDIC. Therefore, it is your responsibility to convert the data to ASCII.
