SUMMARY
The documentation for the WM_RENDERFORMAT message on page 6-98 of the &quot;Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 1&quot; for version 3.0, and on page 188 of the &quot;Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference Volume 3: Messages, Structures, and Macros&quot; manual for version 3.1 is incomplete.

The following information should be added to the documentation for the function as a Comments section:

  During the processing of this message, the OpenClipboard and CloseClipboard functions should NOT be called. The               WM_RENDERFORMAT message is sent from within the GetClipboardData    function which an application calls from within a block of code            surrounded by the OpenClipboard and CloseClipboard          functions. While processing the WM_RENDERFORMAT message, the application   should not again call the OpenClipboard and CloseClipboard    functions.

NOTE: The first sentence of the preceding information is already included on page 188 of the &quot;Microsoft Windows Programmer's Reference Volume 3: Messages, Structures, and Macros&quot; manual for version 3.1.

Note that while processing the WM_RENDERALLFORMATS message, the OpenClipboard and CloseClipboard functions must be called in order to call the SetClipboardData function. For more information, query on the following words:
