# OLEUIPASTEENTRY

This structure is an array of OLEUIPASTEENTRY entries specified in the OLEUIPASTESPECIAL structure for the Paste Special dialog box. Each entry includes a FORMATETC which specifies the formats that are acceptable, a string that is to represent the format in the dialog box’s listbox, a string to customize the result text of the dialog box, and a set of flags from the OLEUIPASTEFLAG enumeration. The flags indicate if the entry is valid for pasting only, linking only or both pasting and linking. If the entry is valid for linking, the flags indicate which link types are acceptable by OR’ing together the appropriate OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE<#> values. These values correspond to the array of link types as follows:

OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE1=arrLinkTypes[0]
OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE2=arrLinkTypes[1]
OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE3=arrLinkTypes[2]
OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE4=arrLinkTypes[3]
OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE5=arrLinkTypes[4]
OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE6=arrLinkTypes[5]
OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE7=arrLinkTypes[6]
OLEUIPASTE_LINKTYPE8=arrLinkTypes[7]

arrLinkTypes[] is an array of registered clipboard formats for linking. A maximum of eight link types are allowed.

Members

fmtetc
  Format that is acceptable. The Paste Special dialog box checks if this format is offered by the object on the clipboard and if so, offers it for selection to the user.
lpstrFormatName
  Pointer to the string that represents the format to the user. Any %s in this string is replaced by the FullUserTypeName of the object on the clipboard and the resulting string is placed in the list box of the dialog box. Only one %s is allowed. The presence or absence of %s specifies whether the result-text is to indicate that data is being pasted or that an object that can be activated by an application is being pasted. If %s is present, the resulting text says that an object is being pasted. Otherwise, it says that data is being pasted.
lpstrResultText
  Pointer to the string used to customize the resulting text of the dialog box when the user selects the format corresponding to this entry. Any %s in this string is replaced by the application name or FullUserTypeName of the object on the clipboard. Only one %s is allowed.
dwFlags
  Values from OLEUIPASTEFLAG enumeration.
dwScratchSpace
  Scratch space available to routines that loop through an IEnumFORMATETC to mark if the PasteEntry format is available. This field CAN be left uninitialized.
