## Description

Closes the local clipboard and places the contents of the local clipboard on the Windows clipboard, thus making the data available for pasting into other applications.

After calling this action, no further calls to SET-CLIPBOARD-DATA may be made until the local clipboard is re-opened via the OPEN-CLIPBOARD action.

Note that if data for a drag-drop operation is being prepared in the BEGIN-DRAG event, this call is not necessary, because you usually don't need or want to also make the transferred data available for pasting. Drag and drop can (and normally does) work directly with the local clipboard. See the GET-CLIPBOARD-DATA action for more information on this topic.

## Parameters

Name/Data Type | Explanation
--- | ---
Response (I4) | Output Natural error (if applicable).

#### Example:

     /* Empty the Windows clipboard
    PROCESS GUI ACTION OPEN-CLIPBOARD GIVING #RESPONSE
    PROCESS GUI ACTION CLOSE-CLIPBOARD GIVING #RESPONSE
