Clipboard? [Resolved]

[xjake88x]

In vb6 you could use Clipboard.GetText to get the text on the clipboard, but in .NET, this is how I had to do it:

Dim A As Windows.Forms.IDataObject, S() As String, S2 As String
A = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
S = A.GetFormats()
S2 = A.GetData(S(0))

Where S2 contains the text that was on the clipboard.

Is there an easier way to get the text? And to see if theres text, or an image or w/e other kind of data?

You can make select case to determine if the obj , for example , is jpg ,bmp ..etc depending on the format of the picture .

Dim A As Windows.Forms.IDataObject, S() As Object, S2 As Object
        A = Clipboard.GetDataObject()
        S = A.GetFormats()
        S2 = A.GetData(S(0))
        MessageBox.Show("Object in Clipboard is :" + S2.GetType.ToString)
