Linux is an operating system. It doesn't have a clipboard. The clipboard
is provided by desktop frameworks, such as KDE or Gnome.

Actually, Linux is the kernel, and the full system is GNU/Linux, as
RMS would hasten to point out.
Isn't the clipboard a basic X component?
However, for basic text, don't overlook the humble shell facilities
like | , > , < , and >>

What you're calling "the clipboard" is several basic X
components. More accurately there is no such thing in X as
"the clipboard". The "selection" mechanism in X is rather
complicated and can only partially be made to resemble "a
clipboard" in the traditional MacOS sense of the word.
Some desktop environments have implimented something more akin
to the MacOS "clipboard" , but AFAICT that's another layer on
top of the basic selection mechanisms provided by X

Hello All,
I¡¯m using a context menu associated with some pictureboxes to provide
copy/paste functionality. Copying the image to the clipboard was easy. But
pasting an image from the clipboard is proving to be more difficult. These
pictureboxes are bound to an AccessDB. If the user wants to add an image,
they select an image using an OpenFileDialog:

If (result = DialogResult.OK) Then

I'm interested in trying out Linux, probably Ubuntu, but I was wondering
which distribution you guys like to use (because it's a pain trying to
decide!) and you guys are smart.
And to keep it Python related, I'll also ask, is there anything special
I need to know about using Python on Linux? Do any things change, or can
it be used just as I use it on Windows?
Thanks!

I have an application which requires an image to be retrived from the

images from a webcam and store a single frame on the clipboard so it can
be pasted into this other application. My solution is working fine with
all applications (mspaint, word, wordpad) except the one I need it to
work with. I've contacted the vendor of the application, but I haven't

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.
