Declaration [src]

gboolean
gdk_clipboard_set_content (
  GdkClipboard* clipboard,
  GdkContentProvider* provider
)

Description [src]

Sets a new content provider on clipboard.

In the rare case of a failure, this function will return FALSE. The clipboard will then continue reporting its old contents and ignore provider.

If the contents are read by either an external application or the clipboard‘s read functions, clipboard will select the best format to transfer the contents and then request that format from provider.

	The new contents of `clipboard` or `NULL` to clear the clipboard.
	The argument can be `NULL`.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.

Return value

Returns:	`gboolean`
	`TRUE` if setting the clipboard succeeded.
