All,

I have recently created a test program which sets clipboard data using 
delayed rendering by handling the WM_RENDERFORMAT and WM_RENDERALLFORMATS 
messages rather than setting the data up front.  This works fine.  I have 
noticed that when my application closes the WM_RENDERALLFORMATS message is 
sent asking my program to put the data in the clipboard before my app is 
gone (makes sense).

For the program that I am creating I do not desire the clipboard to be 
filled when the app exits.  My question is: what is the typical way that 
programs handle this situation?  Should I ignore the message (return 
non-zero)?  Should I empty the clipboard before the app closes or during the 
WM_RENDERALLFORMATS message?

I really would just like to know the standard way other people handle this.
