InfoScrap

InfoScrap Get information about the desk scrap

#include <Scrap.h> Scrap Manager

PScrapStuff InfoScrap( );

returns address of a scrap information packet

Use InfoScrap to learn the size of the desk scrap, whether it is currently in

memory or on disk, and other information.

Returns: a pointer to the global scrap information packet (a 16-byte

ScrapStuff structure).

Notes: In the 128K ROMs, InfoScrap performs the additional function of calling

ZeroScrap if the scrap is un initialized.

C programmers may prefer to access the global variable ScrapInfo (a

ScrapStuff structure starting at 0x0960), e.g.,

if ( ScrapStuff. scrapState > 0 ) {

... scrap is currently in memory ...

}

Note that this technique does not automatically call ZeroScrap-something

you should do if ScrapStuff. scrapState is negative (un initialized).

If your application displays the Clipboard or uses a private scrap, you may

wish to check the value of the scrapCount field on each pass through the main

event loop. If this value changes, it is a pretty good indication that some

new data has been placed into the scrap (since applications and DAs usually

call ZeroScrap before calling PutScrap).
