3.1.1.1 Clipboard Format ID Map

  • Article

The Clipboard Format ID Map is used to translate local Clipboard Format IDs to remote Clipboard Format IDs.

For example, assume that on System A, the Clipboard Format with a format name of "Format X" maps to the format ID 0x00001111; and on System B, the format ID corresponding to the format name "Format X" might be 0x00002222:

  • On System A, the format map entry for "Format X" would appear as follows:

    Format X: Local ID 0x00001111 maps to Remote ID 0x00002222

  • On System B, the format map entry for "Format X" would appear as follows:

    Format X: Local ID 0x00002222 maps to Remote ID 0x00001111

The Clipboard Format ID Map is cleared and initialized whenever a Format List PDU is processed (section 3.1.5.2.2).
