     NAME
          XmClipboardCancelCopy-A clipboard function that cancels a
          copy to the clipboard

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <Xm/Xm.h>
          #include <Xm/CutPaste.h>

          int XmClipboardCancelCopy (display, window, item_id)
               Display   * display;
               Window    window;
               long      item_id;


     DESCRIPTION
          XmClipboardCancelCopy cancels the copy to clipboard that is
          in progress and frees up temporary storage.  When a copy is
          to be performed, XmClipboardStartCopy allocates temporary
          storage for the clipboard data.  XmClipboardCopy copies the
          appropriate data into the the temporary storage.
          XmClipboardEndCopy copies the data to the clipboard
          structure and frees up the temporary storage structures.  If
          XmClipboardCancelCopy is called, the XmClipboardEndCopy
          function does not have to be called.  A call to
          XmClipboardCancelCopy is valid only after a call to
          XmClipboardStartCopy and before a call to
          XmClipboardEndCopy.


          displaySpecifies a pointer to the Display structure that was
                 returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or
                 XtDisplay.

          window Specifies a widget's window ID that relates the
                 application window to the clipboard.  The widget's
                 window ID can be obtained by using XtWindow.  The
                 same application instance should pass the same window
                 ID to each of the clipboard functions that it calls.

          item_idSpecifies the number assigned to this data item.
                 This number was returned by a previous call to
                 XmClipboardStartCopy.


     RETURN VALUE
          ClipboardSuccess
                      The function is successful.

          ClipboardLocked
                      The function failed because the clipboard was
                      locked by another application.  The application
                      can continue to call the function again with the

                      same parameters until the lock goes away.  This
                      gives the application the opportunity to ask if
                      the user wants to keep trying or to give up on
                      the operation.

          ClipboardFail
                      The function failed because XmClipboardStartCopy
                      was not called or because the data item contains
                      too many formats.
