Clipboard Transfer

The Clipboard Mode transfers images from the Source to the Windows Clipboard. This mode is useful if you want to 'Paste' an acquired image into a program that supports pasting images (for example Microsoft Word's 'Paste' command does this). DTWAIN places each DIB in the Windows Clipboard in CF_DIB format.

It is the responsibility of the application to obtain the DIB from the Clipboard when the page has been transferred successfully. Therefore it is highly recommended that the application programmer should be familiar with the Windows Clipboard functions.

This mode can use either Native or Buffered modes to do the initial transference from the Source to the Clipboard. The DTWAIN function that acquires images using the Clipboard is DTWAIN_AcquireToClipboard.
