.Net CF - cut, copy, paste, context menu, clipboard

[barryna]

How do I copy to clipboard, paste from clipboard from my context menu in my smart device (pocket pc) app?

I cannot find any info on microsoft.com that uses the real clipboard. Their stupid examples show how to use a global variable in your pocket pc app. I want to copy and paste from other apps into mine.

Thanks,

Nick

I'm not sure if this will help, but I've used this to copy to and paste from the clipboard in a Windows application.

Clipboard.SetDataObject(txtMyData.text)

Dim valueObj As DataObject = Clipboard.GetDataObject
Dim dataString As String
If valueObj.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text) = True Then
dataString = CType(valueObj.GetData(DataFormats.Text), String)
MsgBox(dataString)
End If

yeah, I'm aware of that method used in windows applications. It is not available in the .Net CF. Does anyone know how to do this?

Still have not figured this one out. Anyone?
