3062.0. "unresolved reference DwtClipboardRegisterFormat ?" by RHETT::WORD (he's a third world man...) Wed Jul 11 1990 15:55

In the VMS DECwindows Programming Documentation Supplement for version 5.3, 
specifically the Toolkit Routines Reference Manual, chapter 12 describes a
new cut and paste routine: DwtClipboardRegisterFormat.

A customer wants to be able to "selectively copy" from the clipboard, not 
the whole clipboard, but portions of the clipboard. His code would make 
multiple calls to COPY FROM CLIPBOARD and request data in a different format
with each call. He is using some non-ICCCM data formats and should register 
the data length and format name via the CLIPBOARD REGISTER FORMAT routine.

The linker is unable to resolve this reference. Basically, there doesn't 
appear to be a Entry Point Symbol and Mask Definition for 
DWT$CLIPBOARD_REGISTER_FOMAT in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECW$DWTLIBSHR.EXE.

I'm preparing a SPR to report the problem; any suggestions and/or ideas
would be appreciated...

3062.1Ooops - it's not in the transfer vectorR2ME2::VANGILDERJim V., DECwindows ToolkitsFri Jul 13 1990 10:285
Neither the C binding nor the VMS binding routines were added to 
the shareable image's transfer vector.  This will be fixed in V3.
