Hi,
How can we get the content of clipboard with program?
16  1906 
MSIE supports obtaining the user's clipboard.
Once obtained it is easy to transmit to the server.

Using Javascript Command
document.execCommand('paste');
more details here .. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...xeccommand.asp
I think this works only in IE and Browser settings can block the paste
operation..

Yikes, you're right! Tells you how often I build IE-specific
applications, not to say other browsers might not have given this
capability. Me as a user? I don't like it....do you know if you get
cross-domain access (read stuff I copied while browsing a different domain)?
Anyway, I dug this up after Edwin's reply... http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/a...pboardData.asp
looks like it only works for text that is copy/paste using the menus in
IE (not using shortcut keys)? Just figuring this out for myself as well...

I would have liked to see sample code for doing that,
in ASP.NET, if it's that easy.
Maybe you didn't take into account that the clipboard class
is in the System.Windows.Forms namespace ( which, as
Craig told you, cannot be accessed by ASP.NET server-side ) ?
Even if it were to be accessed, it would be the *server's* clipboard
that's accessed, if this thing is running server-side, wouldn't it ?
So, that leaves, as the only alternative, to write a client-side program
which captures client data, in sync with the current ASP.NET context,
have the user install it and run it so that the correct data is captured client-side,
and figure out a way to insert the clipboard's contents to the server, in context
with the current request.
That last part doesn't seem too complicated, although it's certainly not "easy".
The first part certainly is complicated, and that's why I wondered why you
described the procedure as "once obtained it is easy to transmit to the server".
That "once obtained" is what you overlooked.

Nah, you weren't "harsh". You were mistaken.

That task is not simply "local stuff". There's a server involved.
Passing the contents of a client's clipboard to an IIS server
running ASP.NET is not a trivial undertaking. Not in the least.

We must see it differently then.
A js function can be called to obtain the CB, this could be onload.
If you have the CB text you can invoke a post to the server.
What 's not trivial?
Unless you expect to read other CB formats like EMF or so?

And if I have an image in the clipboard ?
Anyway, having your clipboard read by a web page is a security risk.
To make sure your clipboard is not exposed :
1. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
2. Click on Custom Level
3. In the security settings, click to Disable the “Allow Paste Operations via Script.”
That will keep your clipboard text contents private,
and will prevent you from doing what you are proposing to do.
Simply turning off Javascript
( which more and more people are doing these days )
will prevent the reading of text from a client's clipboard, too.
IOW, client behavior is easily derailed, so it's not a general solution.
That lands us right back into the server scenario again, where it simply can't be done.
The idea is not only whether a programming sequence is feasible,
but also whether it's practical, reliable and secure.

Nah, you weren't "harsh". You were mistaken.

That task is not simply "local stuff". There's a server involved.
Passing the contents of a client's clipboard to an IIS server
running ASP.NET is not a trivial undertaking. Not in the least.

re: Eeek!
heh, heh...
Good reaction ... ;-)
re: I wonder how ASP.NET reacts :)
+ a lot of my code is in javascript
I consider that a minimal requirement.
No web server, no matter the technology used,
can function as efficiently without client-side Javascript as with it.
Some things work fine without JS, like server-side form validation.
Other fail miserably.
Worse, not even detecting browsers can tell you if JS has been disabled,
or even if paste operations via script have been disabled, which many
companies do disable as part of their security policy.
The only way is to test for JS involves using JS. What a catch-22!
If you pass a variable and the variable is there, JS is running.
If it's not there, it's not.

news:%2****************@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... And if I have an image in the clipboard ?
Anyway, having your clipboard read by a web page is a security risk.
To make sure your clipboard is not exposed :
1. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security
2. Click on Custom Level
3. In the security settings, click to Disable the “Allow Paste Operations via Script.”
That will keep your clipboard text contents private,
and will prevent you from doing what you are proposing to do.
Simply turning off Javascript
( which more and more people are doing these days )
will prevent the reading of text from a client's clipboard, too.
IOW, client behavior is easily derailed, so it's not a general solution.
That lands us right back into the server scenario again, where it simply can't be done.
The idea is not only whether a programming sequence is feasible,
but also whether it's practical, reliable and secure.

A js function can be called to obtain the CB, this could be onload.
If you have the CB text you can invoke a post to the server.
What 's not trivial?
Unless you expect to read other CB formats like EMF or so?

Please post sample code.
Juan, see my reply (sibling post of yours) for a quick example, or one
way of doing it. It does work, but this example is somewhat limited in
its effectiveness.
Which going back to the conversation you and Edwin had (further below in
this thread) there's a lot of reasons to not do this unless you're in a
very controlled environment where you know it's even possible to work
all the time.
