My app has to temporarily use the clipboard - and while doing so, it would
delete any existing data which the user has copied (possibly from other
applications).
What I want to do is temporarily store (if to file then by serializing) the
clipboard data, use the clipboard, and the restore the clipboard with the
temp data.
The question is: apps like Word store up to 16 different formats at once on
the clipboard - how do I deal with that? If it was just text, image, audio, I
could store it appropriately, but how to store custom data formats?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dax

I'd refer you to the clipboard class in the .NET framework and the
GetDataObject and SetDataObject methods.
From the VS 2003 help:
"Because the data type of the object returned from the clipboard can
vary, (GetDataObject) returns the data in an IDataObject. Then you can
use methods of the IDataObject interface to extract the data in its
proper data type."
Hope that helps.

Is there a way to copy a PIL image to windows clipboard (as a dib
image or a bitmap, I suppose)?
What I would like to accomplish is to do a fast copy and paste of
images from my python application to a windows application such as

the moment.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Needed a title like that to get you reading :-)
Having never programmed for the Clipboard before, I expected it to
work as follows: multiple data formats can be supported by just
storing the data, keyed by the format name. After the application that
has placed a custom format into the Clipboard has closed, the data
should still be there and later, after another instance of that
application has been created, you should still be able...

Hello,
First, I appologize for the length but I want to get all the facts

I'm trying to allow the user of my C# app to copy a DataGrid full of

They can then paste these values wherever (but in particular, excel).
I've searched the web fairly exhaustively and cannot find an answer to
this. Every time someone asks, somone answers with the...

Hi!
Can I save and restore the content of the clipboard without dealing with
the format it stores? I use the clipboard for data exchange between
applications (this is the only way), and I would like to keep the
previous content of the clipboard. Any examples I've found build on the
format of the data, but I can't now in advance, what type of data on the
clipboard will be. I can't even save and restore a part of simple
formatted text...

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.
