The clipboard object encapsulates the Windows clipboard and the three standard Gtk selections. For each of the three clipboards/selections there is an object:
<link id="PrimarySelection">PrimarySelection</link>,
<link id="SecondarySelection">SecondarySelection</link> and
<link id="Clipboard">Clipboard</link>.
There is no difference between the three objects except their type.

<p>There is one special case: </p>
<p>
If the clipboard loses ownership the <var>OnRequest</var> event will be called with FormatID=0. This event will be erased on lost of ownership.
</p>
<p>
If the <var>OnRequest</var> event was already set before, the prior method will be called with FormatID=0 to be notified of the loss.

<element name="PrimarySelection">

<var>PrimarySelection</var> - the first selection if multiple clipboards exist.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
The PrimarySelection is available on platforms like X. Normally when the user selects some text with the mouse the primary selection is set and when the user clicks the middle mouse button the text is copied to the mouse position. On platforms without multiple clipboards, the PrimarySelection still works in the LCL application, but does not communicate with other applications.

<p>
The SecondarySelection is available on platforms like X. See PrimarySelection for more details. There is no standard how to use the secondary selection, so it is free to use. X supports a dozen more selections, but they are not supported by the LCL.
