[fpc-pascal] Clipboard on WindowsCE

[Technical]

Does anyone know how to activate the clipboard when programming for Windows CE? I can do it OK when programming for Win32 etc, but not for WinCE. The message when the program is run is "IndexOfCached FormatID Internal Error: Invalid FormatID 0 for clipboard". Sure enough, there are no valid formats on the clipboard (count = 0). I have tried adding formats (AddFormat) and new formats (RegisterClipboardFormat) but without success. The installed platform for Lazarus/Free Pascal is Windows XP (Home).

I have been trying for months, but with zero success. It only needs to work (currently) for text as I have no need for images etc at present.

Are there any missing ingredients?

I have more recently downloaded Lazarus 9.28.2 (previously it was 9.26.0) and FPC 2.2.4 (previously it was 2.2.2) and still get exactly the same problem, despite compiling it on a different computer (but still XP operating system).

When run with Win32 it works fine on the XP platform, but when recompiling for WinCE using virtually the same code (but modified for WinCE as done successfully for other programs not using the clipboard), it fails at runtime on the Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 platforms with same message as reported originally. There are no compiler errors, so that side of it is presumably OK. It has to be to do with the implementation of the Clipboard components, doesn't it?

I have tried all the options I can think of, and those suggested by others, but can get no further forward. I have even tried running Lazarus under Linux, but this does not work either.

Can anyone give any more suggestions of how to overcome the problem? Any help would be gratefully received.

An example of its successful implementation on Windows CE would be a great help.

Regards
