get-clipboard-data in clipboard<%>

Gets the current clipboard contents in a specific format, returning #f if the clipboard does not contain data in the requested format.

If the clipboard client is associated to an eventspace that is not the current one, the data is retrieved through a callback event in the client's eventspace. If no result is available within one second, the request is abandoned and #f is returned.

• (send a-clipboard get-clipboard-data format time) -> string or #f
   format : string
     time : exact integer

  The format string is typically four capital letters. (Under Mac OS, only four characters for format are ever used.) For example, "TEXT" is the name of the simple text format. New format names can be used to communicate application- and platform-specific data formats.

  See Cut and Paste for a discussion of the time argument. If time is outside the platform-specific range of times, an exn:application:mismatch exception is raised.
