Notes:
Use it to access the clipboard on Windows.
Be aware that in the constructor we open the clipboard connection. Since Xojo may itself like to look into the clipboard to decide whether to enable copy & paste events, our clipboard connection may get taken or times out. Only one app at a time can have clipboard access.
