Simple Clipboard Class

There are three functions available:

CClipboard::SetText()
   This function puts text on the clipboard.

CClipboard::GetText()
   This function retrieves text from the clipboard.

CClipboard::GetTextLength()
   This function retrieves the length of the text on the clipboard.

If any of these functions return FALSE, then there was an error during the clipboard operation; otherwise, the operation was successful. In the future, I'd like to expand this into a more robust clipboard control class, perhaps using some of the other code that exists here on Codeguru. If anyone would like to take a stab at that before I do, please send your results back up when you have something!

Here is an example of how this class might be used:

#include "Clipboard.h"

         :
         :
         :

        // Write text to the clipboard
        char pastebuf[256];
        strcpy (pastebuf, "Put this on the clipboard.");
        CClipboard::SetText(strText);

         :
         :
         :

        // Retrieve text from the clipboard
        char copybuf[256];
        CClipboard::GetText(copybuf, 256);
