The ClipboardChangeEvent() constructor creates a new ClipboardChangeEvent object instance when a clipboardchange event occurs. The clipboardchange event fires whenever the system clipboard contents are changed either by a web app or any other system application.

Note: This event constructor is generally not needed for production websites. Its primary use is for tests that require an instance of this event.
