## Use windowsUiClipboardSnapshot

A complete small caller. Values are illustrative; check the returned result and package requirements before connecting live resources.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using host.windows

// Connect Windows display, session, clipboard, and accessibility services.
windowsUiClipboardSnapshot sample = windowsUiClipboardSnapshot(true, true, true, true, 1, 1, true, true)
Console.Log(Text.From(sample.opened))

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.host_windows__windowsuiclipboardsnapshot"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

[[dependencies]]
package = "host.ui_services"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/host/ui_services"

[[dependencies]]
package = "host.windows"
version = "0.1.0"
path = "../../../yeho/packages/host/windows"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/host.windows--windowsUiClipboardSnapshot/usage --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


## windowsUiClipboardSnapshot.Validate

A complete caller for this public method. Sample inputs are illustrative; native resources require their owning lifecycle.

Verification: type checked

```yh
using host.windows

// Validate.
windowsUiClipboardSnapshot instance = windowsUiClipboardSnapshot(true, true, true, true, 1, 1, true, true)
text result = instance.Validate()
Console.Log(Text.From(result))

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.host_windows__windowsuiclipboardsnapshot"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]

[[dependencies]]

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/host.windows--windowsUiClipboardSnapshot/method-Validate-9 --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```


Package presence and a declaration do not establish support on every host. Host services need their platform and lifecycle setup.
