  An application can be notified of changes in the data stored in the
  Windows clipboard by registering itself as a Clipboard Viewer.
 
  Clipboard viewers use two API calls and several messages to communicate
  with the Clipboard viewer chain. SetClipboardViewer adds a window to the
  beginning of the chain and returns a handle to the next viewer in the chain.
  ChangeClipboardChain removes a window from the chain. When a clipboard change occurs,
  the first window in the clipboard viewer chain is notified via the WM_DrawClipboard
  message and must pass the message on to the next window. To do this, our application
  must store the next window along in the chain to forward messages to and also respond
  to the WM_ChangeCBChain message which is sent whenever any other clipboard viewer on
  the system is added or removed to ensure the next window along is valid.
