Modify clipboard RTF contents

[bobneumann]

I'm trying to manipulate clipboard data that's in registered format called "Rich Text Format".

(I want to do a substitution/replace: Part of the RTF code is "\cf3" and I want to change it to "\cf0")

since Rich Text Format is not standard, I can't use clipget.

I've gotten far enough to know that I need to refer to the memory contents by its "unsigned integer value", which is returned to me by "_clipboard_registerformat"

But from there, how do I return the contents, do my search and replace, and then put my modified info back into the clipboard?

Any help or guidance appreciated.

I am not the author, but i have a similar issue (extract the content of the clipboard in RTF format), so i thought that since this topic is 6 month old, i will try to bump it a little
