gtkClipboardWaitForText: gtkClipboardWaitForText

Description

Requests the contents of the clipboard as text and converts the result to UTF-8 if necessary. This function waits for the data to be received using the main loop, so events, timeouts, etc, may be dispatched during the wait.

Usage

gtkClipboardWaitForText(object)

Arguments

object

a GtkClipboard

Value

NULL if retrieving the selection data failed. (This could happen for various reasons, in particular if the clipboard was empty or if the contents of the clipboard could not be converted into text form.)
