If your program has a blinking cursor, WinCreateCursor(), you can
intercept the WM_TIMER message from that and not have to define your own
timer.  I use this method to enable/disable buttons on my program's
button bar.

I forget the ID of the timer, I just intercept the WM_TIMER message,
since it is the only timer running.

    case WM_TIMER:
    {
      static  lb;
      ULONG   i;
      BOOL    b = WinQueryClipbrdFmtInfo(pdata->hab,CF_TEXT,&i);

      if(b != lb) {
        SetMenu_Paste(TOBOOL(b));
        lb = b;
      }
      break; // return WinDefWindowProc() so the cursor will blink
    }

You probably know this, just thought I'd mention it.

Tschuess,
