_ClipBoard_Open ( $hOwner )
| $hOwner | Handle to the window to be associated with the open clipboard. If this parameter is 0, the open clipboard is associated with the current task. |
| Success: | True |
| Failure: | False |
This function fails if another window has the clipboard open. Call the _ClipBoard_Close() function after every successful call to this function.
The window identified by the $hOwner parameter does not become the clipboard owner unless the _ClipBoard_Empty() function is called. If you call _ClipBoard_Open() with hwnd set to 0, _ClipBoard_Empty() sets the clipboard owner to 0 which causes _ClipBoard_SetData() to fail.
