29.25 How do I use the system clipboard? |
The SetDataObject and GetDataObject methods in the Clipboard class found in the System.Windows.Forms namespace allows you to access the clipboard. Here is some code. |
| string text = "Some text for the clipboard";
|
| Clipboard.SetDataObject(text); //clipboard now has "Some text for the clipboard"
|
|
|
| text = ""; //zap text so it can be reset...
|
| IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
|
| if(data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text))
|
| {
|
| text = (String)data.GetData(DataFormats.Text);
|
| //text is now back to "Some text for the clipboard"
|
| }
