You shouldn't.

The clipboard is an object for the user to use. An application should
never actively change the clipboard (or clear it).

Hello all I have the need to copy something to the clipboard via 3rd party type library and then pick it up on the .NET side via the clipboard (all server-side). To complicate the issue, the application needs to be web oriented (ASP.NET) I have a console version that work, but I can’t seem to get the ASP side working. I have included the Forms assembly and I'm able to write to the clipboard via the 3rd party, but the clipboard is...

Hi I need to retrieve a metafile image from the clipboard and render it as a bitmap in my application. In particular, an image will be placed on the clipboard by pasting from PowerPoint (I really do need to do this!). The original image is a bitmap, but PowerPoint doesn't place it on the clipboard as such. A call to GetFormats() indicates that MetafilePict and EnhancedMetaFile are available formats. The following does NOT work:

I have converted a VB6 application to VB.NET. The old application made extensive use of the Clipboard for copying an Image Name so that it could be pasted into the image capture app when the user scans the image. My applications run as compiled assemblies from our Intranet server and I have setup a Main sub routine in the application with the following line: <STAThread()> Public Sub Main() Note: There is no timer in this application.

I'm trying to use .NET and C# to draw a metafile copied to the clipboard by another application (Word 2003 in this case, but it shouldn't matter). I naively thought that I'd be able to use the Clipboard class to get an EnhancedMetafile or MetafilePict object from the Clipboard, use that to create a new Metafile object, and then draw that Metafile object using Graphics.DrawImage. It doesn't seem to be that simple.

Wow.....this is darned odd.... I have an app that integrates with other applications. It registers a global hotkey with Windows. When the hotkey executes it sends a CTRL-C to the active window (any application) to copy whatever text is selected to the clipboard. It then issues a C# Clipboard.GetText(...) and does some processing with this string. All is good, no errors thus far.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
