The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1

The return value for ChangeClipboardChain() is TRUE if hWnd (the value to be removed) is the last one on the chain. Otherwise, the value is the return value [via SendMessage()] from the final item in the Clipboard chain, which should be TRUE. The change can successfully be made, however, even if the final window in the chain returns FALSE. This merely indicates that the application with the final window in the chain is handling the message incorrectly.
