How to detect content of Clipboard?

[hstijnen]

Hi,

Is it possible to detect the format of the data in the windows clipboard? I want to intercept the ctrl-V (Paste) in order to different processing of text, table, figure,... etc.

Any suggestions?

Look at the TClipBoard component.

Read about Clipboard() and HasFormat() in Builder's help. Here's a simple example:

Unit1.h

[COLOR=green]#include <Clipbrd.hpp>[/color]

Unit1.cpp

[b]void __fastcall[/b] TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
  [b]if[/b](Clipboard()->HasFormat(CF_TEXT))
  {
    Label1->Caption = "There's text in the clipboard.";
  }
}
