Wiki source for clipboardSize


Show raw source

======**sqInt clipboardSize(void)**======

**Parms**: NONE
**return**: size of clipboard item in bytes
**From**: Interpreter
**Why**:
Get size of clipboard item

**Responsibility**:
We get size of clipboard item so we can see if we can load it, if it's too big, then the primitive fails.
After this call we invoke clipboardReadIntoAt to read a textual item

**MacIntosh**
//os-9/OSXCarbon//
There is an extended clipboard plugin build for Sophie that lets you access items other than text.

//Cocoa://
Use NSPasteboard
[[possibleData precomposedStringWithCanonicalMapping] UTF8String]

**iPhone**
Use UIPasteboard
[[possibleData precomposedStringWithCanonicalMapping] UTF8String]

**Unix**
Supported, gets data from X clipboard

**Windows**
Oddly get CF_UNICODETEXT, convert to CP_UTF8 and count characters, toss the extra lf from a crlf pair

**BUGS**
Well the issue of CR for textual data versus CRLF rears up. Really I think any removal of data from the clipboard should be done in the image
versus being buried in the primitive code
