About the Scrap Manager

You can use the Scrap Manager to support copying and pasting of data. If your application uses TextEdit (in its windows or dialog boxes), be aware that TextEdit also maintains its own private scrap. You use TextEdit routines to copy data from the TextEdit scrap (if any) to the scrap. See "Converting Data Between the TextEdit Scrap and the Scrap" beginning on page 2-28 for information on TextEdit's scrap.

The next section describes the location of the scrap. "Using the Scrap Manager" beginning on page 2-14 provides specific information on how you can use Scrap Manager routines in your application.
