Savoir lorsque le contenu du Presse-Papier change

{
An application can be not if ied of changes in the data stored in the
Windows clipboard by registering itself as a Clipboard Viewer.

Clipboard viewers use two API calls and several messages to communicate
with the Clipboard viewer chain. SetClipboardViewer adds a window to the
begin ning of the chain and returns a handle to the next viewer in the chain.
ChangeClipboardChain removes a window from the chain. When a clipboard change occurs,
the first window in the clipboard viewer chain is not if ied via the WM_DrawClipboard
message and must pass the message on to the next window. To do this, our application
must store the next window along in the chain to forward messages to and also respond
to the WM_ChangeCBChain message which is sent whenever any other clipboard viewer on
the system is added or removed to ensure the next window along is valid.
