The documentation for CloseClipboard() suggests using DuplicateHandle() on a clipboard object before closing the clipboard, in order to use that object after the clipboard is closed. Doing so results in a return of ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE.
The Win32 SDK 3.1 documentation is in error. DuplicateHandle() is specified to work only on console input, console output, events, files, file mappings, mutexes, pipes, processes, semaphores, and thread handles.
The Win32 SDK 3.5 documentation has been corrected.
