On X11, this maps trivially to the Xdnd protocol, but on Windows although some applications use MIME types to describe clipboard formats, others use arbitrary non-standardized naming conventions, or unnamed built-in formats of Windows. By instantiating subclasses of QWindowsMimeConverter that provide conversions between Windows Clipboard and MIME formats, you can convert proprietary clipboard formats to MIME formats. Construct an instance of your converter implementation after instantiating QGuiApplication: \code int main(int argc, char **argv) { QGuiApplication app(argc, argv); JsonMimeConverter jsonConverter; } \endcode Destroying the instance will unregister the converter and remove support for the conversion. It is also valid to heap-allocate the converter instance; Qt takes ownership and will delete the converter object during QGuiApplication shut-down. Qt has predefined support for the following Windows Clipboard formats: \table \header \li Windows Format \li Equivalent MIME type \row \li \c CF_UNICODETEXT \li \c text/plain \row \li \c CF_TEXT \li \c text/plain \row \li \c CF_DIB \li \c{image/xyz}, where \c xyz is a \l{QImageWriter::supportedImageFormats()}{Qt image format} \row \li \c CF_HDROP \li \c text/uri-list \row \li \c CF_INETURL \li \c text/uri-list \row \li \c CF_HTML \li \c text/html \endtable An example use of this class would be to map the Windows Metafile clipboard format (\c CF_METAFILEPICT) to and from the MIME type \c{image/x-wmf}. This conversion might simply be adding or removing a header, or even just passing on the data. See \l{Drag and Drop} for more information on choosing and definition MIME types. You can check if a MIME type is convertible using canConvertFromMime() and can perform conversions with convertToMime() and convertFromMime(). */ /*! \fn bool QWindowsMimeConverter::canConvertFromMime(const FORMATETC &formatetc, const QMimeData *mimeData) const Returns \c true if the converter can convert from the \a mimeData to the format specified in \a formatetc. All subclasses must reimplement this pure virtual function. */ /*! \fn bool QWindowsMimeConverter::canConvertToMime(const QString &mimeType, IDataObject *pDataObj) const Returns \c true if the converter can convert to the \a mimeType from the available formats in \a pDataObj.
