Remarks

Call the SetData method several times to set multiple formats for the data.

Both of the Value and Format parameters are optional, but at least one must be provided. If the Value parameter is specified but not the Format parameter, then the control will assume you are passing a string value and default to the 1 (fpCFText) format. If the Format parameter is specified but the Value parameter is not, then delayed rendering occurs, that is, format but no data is passed. The source's OLESetData event will then occur and the data type will be provided through the OLESetData event's parameters.

The 15 (fpCFFiles) value uses the Files property of the fpDataObject to retrieve the data.

If you use 2 (fpCFBitmap, 3 (fpCFMetafile), 8 (fpCFDIB), 9 (fpCFPalette), or 14 (fpCFEMetafile), the picture object must have the appropriate type.

You can provide only one piece of data in each format, but you can provide multiple formats.
