CCF_DESCRIPTION clipboard format
Introduced in MMC 2.0, the CCF_DESCRIPTION clipboard format is provided by snap-ins using the Extended View extension. A node that supports this clipboard format will have a text-string displayed in the Extended View description area.
Be aware that CCF_DESCRIPTION is also the name of a property recognized by the Extended View extension. Instead of supporting CCF_DESCRIPTION as a clipboard format, a snap-in can support the CCF_DESCRIPTION property by implementing the INodeProperties interface.
Data Format
A string that represents text appearing in the Extended View description area. The data must be plain text and should represent a description of the item selected. Be aware that the Extended View extension automatically provides the name of the selected item, so the text your snap-in provides for CCF_DESCRIPTION does not require a name.
If the Extended View is unable to retrieve the CCF_DESCRIPTION property using the INodeProperties interface, then the Extended View queries for the CCF_DESCRIPTION clipboard format using the HGLOBAL medium in a call to IDataObject::GetDataHere. If this medium is not supported, then the Extended View will query for the CCF_DESCRIPTION clipboard format using the IStream medium in a call to IDataObject::GetDataHere.
Remarks
If the snap-in supports the CCF_DESCRIPTION property or clipboard format, the Extended View extension will display the returned string text beneath "Description:" text in the description area. If the CCF_HTML_DETAILS property or clipboard format is supported, the description area will appear below the HTML details area (the user may need to scroll to see the description area).
