\membersection{wxClipboard::GetData}\label{wxclipboardgetdata}
-\func{bool}{GetData}{\param{wxDataObject&}{ data}}
+\func{bool}{GetData}{\param{wxDataObject*}{ data}}
Call this function to fill {\it data} with data on the clipboard, if available in the required
format. Returns TRUE on success.
\membersection{wxClipboard::IsSupported}\label{wxclipboardissupported}
-\func{bool}{IsSupported}{\param{wxDataObject&}{ data}}
+\func{bool}{IsSupported}{\param{wxDataFormat}{ format}}
Returns TRUE if the format of the given data object is available on the clipboard.
Returns TRUE on success. This should be tested (as in the sample shown above).
-\membersection{wxClipboard::SetData}\label{wxclipboardadddata}
+\membersection{wxClipboard::SetData}\label{wxclipboardsetdata}
\func{bool}{SetData}{\param{wxDataObject*}{ data}}
clear all previous contents in the clipboard, so calling it several times
does not make any sense.
+\membersection{wxClipboard::UsePrimarySelection}\label{wxclipboarduseprimary}
+
+\func{void}{UsePrimarySelection}{\param{bool}{ primary = TRUE}}
+
+On platforms supporting it (currently only GTK), selects the so called
+PRIMARY SELECTION as the clipboard as opposed to the normal clipboard,
+if {\it primary} is TRUE.
