HP Remote Graphics Software 6.0 User Guide

NOTE: This property is for advanced users only. The property string should be changed from its
default value only if Remote Clipboard doesn’t support the clipboard format required by your
application. For more information on clipboard formats, see the Microsoft Developer Network article
Clipboard Formats at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649013.aspx.
This property contains a list of clipboard formats allowed to be transferred using Remote Clipboard.
Therefore, this property is a
keep filter , not a reject filter . The string is a regular expression, and is
used by the receiving computer to specify the clipboard formats that it will accept. The
rgreceiverconfig file contains the following commented-out entry for this property, which indicates the
default clipboard formats supported by RGS:
# Rgreceiver.Clipboard.FilterString="|1|2|7|8|13|16|17|Ole Private Data|
Object Descriptor |Link Source Descriptor|HTML Format|Rich Text Format|
XML Spreadsheet|"
The default clipboard formats are:
●
1 (CF_TEXT)—Text format. Each line ends with a carriage return/linefeed (CR-LF) combination.
A null character signals the end of the data. Use this format for ANSI text.
●
2 (CF_BITMAP)—Bitmap format.
●
7 (CF_OEMTEXT)—Text format containing characters in the OEM character set. Each line ends
with a carriage return/linefeed (CR-LF) combination. A null character signals the end of the data.
●
8 (CF_DIB)—A memory object containing a BITMAPINFO structure followed by the bitmap bits.
●
13 (CF_UNICODETEXT)—Unicode text format. Each line ends with a carriage return/linefeed
(CR-LF) combination. A null character signals the end of the data.
●
16 (CF_LOCALE)—Locale identifier associated with text in the clipboard
●
17 (DIBV5)—Bitmap color space and bitmap data
●
Ole Private Data—A private application format understood only by the application offering the
format.
●
Object Descriptor—OLE2 object descriptor
●
Link Source Descriptor—Link to OLE2 object
●
HTML Format—Text is in Hypertext Markup Language format
●
Rich Text Format—A text format that includes special formatting features, such as bold, italics,
and centering.
●
XML Spreadsheet—A format created by Microsoft to allow Excel spreadsheets to be saved in
XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. This format is supported by other applications as
well.
The Remote Clipboard system uses the filter string to avoid transmission of unneeded clipboard
formats across the network—only formats specified by the filter string are passed over the network
from the cut computer to the paste (receiving) computer.
Because the filter string is an RGS Receiver-specified property, and because the paste computer can
be any computer (RGS Sender or Receiver), RGS communicates the filter string from the RGS
Receiver to each RGS Sender whenever a Receiver/Sender connection is established.
