Return Values
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Before calling EmptyClipboard, an application must open the clipboard by using the OpenClipboard function. If the application specifies a NULL window handle when opening the clipboard, EmptyClipboard succeeds but sets the clipboard owner to NULL.
