Routines / Getting Information About the Scrap

InfoScrap

You can use the InfoScrap function to get information about the scrap.

FUNCTION InfoScrap: PScrapStuff;

DESCRIPTION

The InfoScrap function returns a pointer to a scrap information record. The information in the scrap information record provides

• the size (in bytes) of the scrap
• a handle to the scrap if it's in memory
• a count, or number, that your application can use to determine whether the contents of the scrap have changed
• the location of the scrap (whether in memory or on disk)
• the filename of the scrap when it is on the disk

ASSEMBLY-LANGUAGE INFORMATION

You can also access the same information as that stored in the scrap information record using system global variables that have the same names as the fields of the scrap information record.
