Multi clipboard!

This utility lets you "pin" clipboard items to a window, and switch between them. I made it for my personal use a while back, that I think other people may find it useful. Useful for any kind of programming, and possibly writing prose.

How to use: Click the systray icon to minimize/restore, and the x button to close.

If an item is in yellow, it is in your clipboard, but not pinned. Left click it to pin. Now, when you copy something else, it'll stay in the window.

If an item is white, it is pinned. Left click it to put it on the clipboard. Right click it to delete it from the window.

If an item is blue, it is on the clipboard and pinned. It behaves like a white item.

If there is a yellow item (ie something in the clipboard that's not pinned), putting a pinned item on the clipboard will overwrite it.

Using the function AddClipboardFormatListener, I assume that this can only be used on Windows Vista and up right? I'll have to test it on another machine later. You don't, by chance, have a working version for Windows XP that possibly uses SetClipboardViewer do you?
