Hi Neil,
I followed your hints, and wrote the following code. It works for most
clipboard formats except files. Selecting and copying a file, followed
by backup() and restore() throw an exception:
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from test12 import *
>>> backup()
>>> restore()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "test12.py", line 40, in restore
win32clipboard.SetClipboardData(format, cb[format])
TypeError: expected a readable buffer object
>>>
If I try to skip the error, pasting into a folder creates a file named
'scrap' with more or less the same content as the copied file. Is
there any solution?
import win32clipboard
storage = []
def backup():
cb = {}
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
format = 0
try:
while True:
format = win32clipboard.EnumClipboardFormats(format)
if format == 0:
break
else:
try:
RawData =
win32clipboard.GetClipboardData(format)
except:
continue
else:
cb[format] = RawData
finally:
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
storage.append(cb)
def restore():
if storage != []:
win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
try:
win32clipboard.EmptyClipboard()
cb = storage.pop()
for format in cb:
win32clipboard.SetClipboardData(format,
cb[format])
finally:
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()
