TIEClipboardCopyFormats

Declaration

TIEClipboardCopyFormats = set of (iefImageEn, iefPNG);

Description

Specifies which formats are included when copying to the clipboard (in addition to the standard DIB format).

Value	Description
iefImageEn	Includes a native "ImageEn" format which preserves the pixel format and alpha channel (supported only by ImageEn)
iefPNG	If the image contains transparency, then a PNG copy is also added to the clipboard. When pasted into other applications the transparency will be included

Note:
◼A DIB format image is always included when copying to the clipboard, so excluding both iefImageEn and iefPNG is an acceptable and common usage
◼Including either of these options will slow clipboard copying and increase memory usage

Examples

// Fastest copying and lowest memory usage
IEGlobalSettings().ClipboardCopyFormats := [];

// Widest support (transparency supported in both ImageEn and other applications)
IEGlobalSettings().ClipboardCopyFormats := [iefImageEn, iefPNG];

// Copying with transparency support in ImageEn-based applications
IEGlobalSettings().ClipboardCopyFormats := [iefImageEn];

// Copying with transparency support in all applications
IEGlobalSettings().ClipboardCopyFormats := [iefPNG];
