ClipView will allow you to view the clipboard's text, bitmap, and metafile formatted data all at once. (OS/2 PM's clipboard has the feature of being able to keep a single copy of each type of data in the clipboard at one time.) By "active," I mean ClipView will automatically update its display when the contents of the clipboard change. By "read-only," I mean ClipView will only display copied versions of the clipboard's data and will never change the actual contents of the clipboard. Simply invoke the program's name and away you go... | ----------------------- | Version 1.40 06/07/1990 | ----------------------- | 1. I added minimize and maximize buttons to each data window, | at the request of Tim Francis from Toronto. | These attributes are also remembered. | 2. There is still an occassional problem with printing. I'm using | the same printing code that I've successfully used elsewhere. ----------------------- Version 1.33 02/06/1990 ----------------------- 1. I implemented David Kerr's suggestions (1) for using a normal PS to play the metafile into, (2) for adding the 9th metafile option which is new in 1.2, and (3) for adding the GpiPlayMetafile() return code on the title line. ----------------------- Version 1.32 02/02/1990 ----------------------- 1. Rob Perry from Bethesda fixed another problem with CLIPVIEW when it tries to become the clipboard owner. ----------------------- Version 1.31 01/25/1990 ----------------------- 1. Rob Perry from Bethesda found a bug that prevented CLIPVIEW from accessing data that had been placed in the clipboard via delayed rendering. ----------------------- Version 1.30 12/03/1989 ----------------------- 1. I implemented a print function for each of the windows. ----------------------- Version 1.20 09/05/1989 ----------------------- 1. The windows containing the different types of data are now children of the desktop, HWND_DESKTOP. For those of us who don't know/care what that means, it's basically saying that those windows will act independently of the main window. So now, you can use some of ClipView's window control options or even WINMANPM (see WINMANPM PACKAGE on OS2TOOLS by Keith Bernstein, for more) to control window attributes (position, size, hide mode) and have them saved between ClipView sessions. This feature has been brought to you through the suggestion of Tom Rogers. 2. I added the following options: Option Explanation ------ ----------- Hide Text Hides the text window. Hide Bitmap Hides the bitmap window. Hide Metafile Hides the metafile window. Remember Current Window Attributes Will store the current window attributes of all the windows and use them every time ClipView is invoked. Forget Remembered Window Attributes Will erase the stored attributes, thus ClipView will start up in its initial initial state the next time ClipView is invoked. ClipView will also start up with its main window always iconified, since its only purpose is to coordinate clipboard messages and contain the menu for the not-so-often-used commands. 3. Tested with OS/2 EE 1.2 and seems to work fine. 4. By the way, there should no longer be any text problems. ----------------------- Version 1.01 08/11/1989 ----------------------- 1. Fixed the text bug. ----------------------- Version 1.00 08/11/1989 ----------------------- 1. Will extract all of the following formats from the clipboard, if available, and display them all at once in their own window: text (CF_TEXT), bitmap (CF_BITMAP), and metafile (CF_METAFILE). 2. I've fixed the "Fix the bug" problem as best OS/2 PM will allow me to fix it. If you think the clipboard has been updated and the new data is not showing in ClipView, simply use the "Update" option in the "Options" menu. That will guarantee the most up to date data is being displayed. 3. Text (CF_TEXT) formatted data behaves strangely. To be more specific, iff you exit the application that wrote the text data to the clipboard and you exit ClipView and then restart ClipView again, the clipboard's selector that points to the text data is unable to be accessed via DosGetSeg() by ClipView(). (I think this is a OS/2 PM bug.) ----------------------- Version Beta 08/08/1989 ----------------------- 1. Will only view bitmap data, for now. 2. Has two options: For one, you can choose to view the data at the current size of ClipView's window to get a feel for what it would look like stretched. The other fixes the following little glitch that I'm working on a real fix for: ClipView has a problem losing its status as the system clipboard's viewer, which usually happens after someone like ICONEDIT or FONTEDIT calls WinEmptyClipboard(). When this happens, ClipView will no longer update the display. You can correct it by using the "Fix the bug" option. 3. If your applications is using the clipboard and the data doesn't show up in ClipView after your write to the clipboard, please contact me. I've noticed some rules that your application must follow when using the clipboard. 4. Future improvements -- startup options (e.g., size), more informative display, recognize some of the other standard formats.
