Declaration:

BOOL ChangeClipboardChain(
	HWND hWndRemove,
	HWND hWndNewNext
);  

---

FoxPro declaration:

DECLARE INTEGER ChangeClipboardChain IN user32;
	INTEGER hWndRemove,;
	INTEGER hWndNewNext
  

---

Parameters:

hWndRemove [in] Handle to the window to be removed from the chain. The handle must have been passed to the SetClipboardViewer function.

hWndNewNext [in] Handle to the window that follows the hWndRemove window in the clipboard viewer chain.

---

Return value:

... is indecisive.

It indicates the result of passing the WM_CHANGECBCHAIN message to the windows in the clipboard viewer chain. Because a window in the chain typically returns FALSE when it processes WM_CHANGECBCHAIN, the return value from ChangeClipboardChain is typically FALSE.

---

Comments:

The window identified by hWndNewNext replaces the hWndRemove window in the chain. The SetClipboardViewer function sends a WM_CHANGECBCHAIN message to the first window in the clipboard viewer chain.
