Interface ClipboardService

All Superinterfaces:

Service

public interface ClipboardService

extends Service

Defines the functionality of a clipboard service that is called by the clipboard actions. A module that would like to provide clipboard functionality has to register an object of a class that implements this interface at the service broker. Whenever a clipboard action is performed by the user, that service object will be called if it is active. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the object to active only if it is appropriate to perform a clipboard action.

For example, a text document should accept a copy action only if the text document's frame is selected by the user. Therefore, the clipboard service has to track the frame's selection state and return that it is active only if the frame is selected.
