TClipboard.FormatCount Property

Specifies the number of formats in the Formats array property.

Pascal

property FormatCount: Integer;

C++

__property int FormatCount;

Description

Use FormatCount to find the number of different format types used to encode the information currently stored in the clipboard. FormatCount is read-only.

To find out if a particular format is available on the clipboard, use the HasFormat method.

C++ Examples:

Copy Code

/*
The following code adds each format on the Clipboard to
ListBox1 when Button1 is clicked.  Something must be on
the Clipboard for Formats to work.  Load the Clipboard
by doing a Paste in another window.

Note: You will need to add Clipbrd to the uses clause (Delphi)
or include <Clipbrd.hpp> (C++).
*/
#include <clipbrd.hpp>
#include <memory>       //for STL auto_ptr class

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
  for(int i=0; i < Clipboard()->FormatCount;i++)
    ListBox1->Items->Add(IntToStr(Clipboard()->Formats[i]));
}

Delphi Examples:

Copy Code

{
The following code adds each format on the Clipboard to
ListBox1 when Button1 is clicked.  Something must be on
the Clipboard for Formats to work.  Load the Clipboard
by doing a Paste in another window.

Note: You will need to add Clipbrd to the uses clause (Delphi)
or include <Clipbrd.hpp> (C++).
