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 acceptible 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];
