Well, there is code all over the place, and I do mean ALL over the place,
its a big project.
Basically...
I set my program as a clipboard viewer...
It needs to know if the user copies data onto the clipboard...
I edit and/or process the data if they copy something.
I call OpenClipboard
I actually call EmptyClipboard(); For this, and recreate the data.
I create the data using GlobalAlloc etc.
I add data using SetClipboardData()
When I'm done adding the data, I call CloseClipboard().

The problem is, when I edit the clipboard data, it thinks the user has
edited it.

The code is pretty rough, especially since Outlook didn't keep my
formatting, and its rather irrelevant.


For the clipboard viewer chain:
NextInChain = SetClipboardViewer(Form1->Handle);

I have my ClipboardMessage function to intercept the messages...
void __fastcall TForm1::ClipBoardMessage(TMessage &Message)


'CanUseClip' is a TTimer... It is also rather irrelevant.


void __fastcall TForm1::CanUseClipTimer(TObject *Sender)
{
CanUseClip->Enabled = false;
canuseclip = true;
}



void __fastcall TForm1::ClipBoardMessage(TMessage &Message)
{
 if ( Message.Msg == WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD )
 {

 if(canuseclip)
 {
  canuseclip = false;

  SendMessage(NextInChain, WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD, Message.WParam,
Message.LParam);
  CopyListText();//simply notes what was copied...
  if(Clip->Enabled == true)//this is a timer that never fires, if its
enabled, run this code...
  {
    if(msgin == false)//msgin tells the program whether it initiated the
message, or the user did
    {
    ClipTimer(Form1);//handle some data...
    }
    else
    msgin = false;//in case msgin is true, it should now be false, since
we've ignored the message

  }
  CanUseClip->Enabled = true;// when we're done, re-enable editing....
 }
 else
 msgin = false;//in case msgin is true, it should now be false, since we've
ignored the message
 }
 else if ( Message.Msg == WM_CHANGECBCHAIN )
 {
  long int Remove, Next;

  Remove = Message.WParam;
  Next = Message.LParam;

  if(NextInChain == (HWND)Remove )
  {
  NextInChain = (HWND)Next;
  }
  else if (NextInChain != 0)
  {
  SendMessage(NextInChain, WM_CHANGECBCHAIN, Remove, Next);
  }
 }
}
