Display clipboard formats

While researching an issue with how different versions of Citrix servers and Citrix clients handle copy pasting between remote and local applications I found myself in need of a little app, which would show me what data formats I have in clipboard right now.

So here goes another utility, which I can't imagine anyone will find usefull.

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0610
#define UNICODE
#include <windows.h>
#define IDI_MYICON 201

int main(void)
{
 wchar_t full[50000];
 wchar_t *index = full;
 wchar_t name[255];
 unsigned int format = 0;

 OpenClipboard(NULL);

 do {
  format = EnumClipboardFormats(format);
  GetClipboardFormatName(format, name, 255);
  index += wsprintf(index, L"%d : %ls\n", format, name);
 } while (format != 0);

 MessageBox(NULL, full, L"Clipboard formats", MB_OK);

 CloseClipboard();
 return 0;
}

The code quite naïvely assumes, that the output buffer won't be longer than 50 000 characters, so in case you have so many formats in clipboard, the code will overflow. :)

For convenience binary version follows clipview.zip (6.8 kB)

If you copy paste for example Excel data into clipboard and run this program, the output will look like this:

Obligatory thanks to Mark James for creating the amazing Silk icons.
