MMC 2.0 Clipboard Formats

Each data object must support these four clipboard formats in its implementation of the IDataObject::GetDataHere method:

• CCF_DISPLAY_NAME
• CCF_NODETYPE
• CCF_SNAPIN_CLASSID
• CCF_SZNODETYPE

The data object's IDataObject::GetDataHere implementation can also support the following formats, depending on the snap-in's needs:

• CCF_COLUMN_SET_ID
• CCF_DESCRIPTION
• CCF_HTML_DETAILS
• CCF_MMC_DYNAMIC_EXTENSIONS
• CCF_SNAPIN_PRELOADS
• CCF_WINDOW_TITLE

The data object's IDataObject::GetData implementation can support the following formats, depending on the snap-in's needs:

CCF_MULTI_SELECT_SNAPINS

CCF_NODEID

CCF_NODEID2

The data object can also support its own custom clipboard formats. To enable other snap-ins to request data using a custom clipboard format, you can publish your snap-in's clipboard formats in the MMC snap-in gallery website.

MMC also passes data to the snap-in for some multiselection operations using the following format:

CCF_MMC_MULTISELECT_DATAOBJECT
