wxclipboardgetdata()
Description
This function retrieves from the clipboard either text, a bitmap, or both (if both are present). Current limitations in wxWidgets prevent the retrieval of non-Unicode text in Unicode applications. This does not present a problem in Windows XP or later (NT and 2000 will require testing), since the operating system automatically puts a Unicode copy up as well. In Windows 9x and Me, this means that text copied from non-Unicode-enabled programs cannot be retrieved using this call. This will hopefully change in the future.
