Comments:

The windows that are part of the clipboard viewer chain, called clipboard viewer windows, must process the clipboard messages WM_CHANGECBCHAIN and WM_DRAWCLIPBOARD.

Each clipboard viewer window calls the SendMessage function to pass these messages to the next window in the clipboard viewer chain.
