An application must understand the Clipboard and its structure before being able to support the quick-transfer feature of the UI. However, because quick-transfer is such a convenient feature for users, every appropriate application should support it. To use the quick-transfer mechanism, you will probably want to understand how mouse input is handled.
The quick-transfer mechanism makes extensive use of the Clipboard's data structures. However, this does not mean that when a quick-transfer is initiated, the Clipboard is altered. Instead, the Clipboard maintains a separate (but similar) data structure within the Transfer VM File.
When a transfer is in progress, the distinction between a normal transfer and a quick transfer is made with the flag CIF_QUICK. When passed to the transfer mechanism's routines, this flag indicates that the quick-transfer item should be accessed and the Clipboard data should remain intact.
