Hi,
I guess I am a victim of fake news? So are you saying that FORMAT is not actually a format, but BINARY? So if the data type isn't TEXT, WMF, EMF, or IMAGE "format", but is BINARY "format", I should set FORMAT=YES followed by FORMATDATA=&someBinaryData and FORMATSIZE=sizeOf(someBinaryData) to make it work? And yes, CF_PALETTE is an enumeration value in winbase.h to indicate the TYPE of data being copied to/from the Windows clipboard, so using the term "FORMAT" as a data type instead using it to refer to an actual data format is misleading, but I think I understand what IUP means by "FORMAT" now. This needs to be clarified in the documentation, that's all I'm saying. Also, I can see in the Notes that the TEXT "format" (as opposed to the FORMAT "format") is copied to the clipboard according to the previous contents of the clipboard, so if the previous clipboard contents was OEM text, you can only copy OEM text to/from the clipboard. I think I understand that too, but programmers need to be aware that the only kind of Unicode text the WinXP Windows clipboard supports is "text/plain;charset=ISO-10646-UCS-2", so anything not in the BMP won't translate properly from UTF-8.

The application can use it to implement a custom clipboard data transfer. CF_PALETTE and others, are numbers. They are not related with FORMAT.

Would it conform to Windows and accept things like CF_PALETTE or CF_TIFF or CF_WAVE and so on, or is it something else?

This is a custom format string. The application copy and paste functions must know what it is copying and pasting in FORMATDATA based on that string. In other words you can copy&paste any data you want, considering you know what is the data.
