[RESOLVED] Get HTML from the clipboard?

[Zeratulsdomain]

How would I get the HTML from the clipboard?

Example: If I copy this thread, I do not want to see the text, I want to see the HTML.

Something like this:

MsgBox(Clipboard.GetText())

[Zeratulsdomain]

that just displays the text, I want the HTML.

You have to view the pages source and copy that to the clip board

lol, I am aware of that, but that is not what I need.

Here is the source from that works with VB6: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/274326

Got it:

MsgBox(Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Html))

Just got to write the code that will remove the header and tags.

edit2: And a pure HTML version. Not sure if this could be coded cleaner with vb.net, but it works:

If (Clipboard.ContainsText(TextDataFormat.Html)) Then
            Dim myString As String = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Html)
            Dim StartOffset As Integer = InStr(myString, "<!--StartFragment-->")
            Dim EndOffset As Integer = InStr(myString, "<!--EndFragment-->")
            MsgBox(Mid(myString, StartOffset + 20, EndOffset - StartOffset - 20))
End If
