Class clipboardData

Sets or gets clipboard data in multiple formats.

Remarks

The AddX functions add data to the variable (not to the clipboard). Then clipboardData.SetClipboard copies the added data to the clipboard. Also you can use the variable with clipboard.pasteData. The static GetX functions get data directly from the clipboard.

Examples

Get bitmap image from clipboard.

var image = clipboardData.getImage();
if(image == null) print.it("no image in clipboard"); else print.it(image.Size);

Set clipboard data in two formats: text and image.

new clipboardData().AddText("text").AddImage(Image.FromFile(@"C:\file.png")).SetClipboard();

Paste data of two formats: HTML and text.

clipboard.pasteData(new clipboardData().AddHtml("<b>text</b>").AddText("text"));

Copy data in two formats: HTML and text.

string html = null, text = null;
clipboard.copyData(() => { html = clipboardData.getHtml(); text = clipboardData.getText(); });
print.it(html); print.it(text);
