[python-win32] How to copy an image using win32clipboard

[Steven Manross]

Based on reading 
http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/win32clipboard__GetClipboardData_meth.html 
I would suggest that getting image data from the clipboard isn't implemented 
yet, but I do not know that for sure as I don't know when that document was 
updated.

However, this python code seems to get text data just fine.

import win32clipboard


win32clipboard.OpenClipboard()
var = win32clipboard.GetClipboardData()
win32clipboard.CloseClipboard()

print(var)

I would also point out that it seems that the "CloseClipboard" is incredibly 
important as it seems that python takes an exclusive lock on the clipboard 
while the Clipboard is Opened.

Hello,

When we take a snip on windows OS, it automatically goes to clipboard. I want 
to access any copied image using win32clipboard. How do I do that?

Hi Pranav,

Just resending this to the list. 
Here's a great resource: http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/win32clipboard.html

The document covers the win32clipboard module very well.The API you'll want to 
reference is the Win32 API. If you need to reference the protocol/steps in an 
even more verbose way, WinUser.h's MSDN pages' remarks section will fill any of 
those gaps.

One such pearl is a warning about about clipboard data:  "Clipboard data is not 
trusted. Parse the data 
carefully before using it in your application."

Tim's page does a good job with pointing you in the direction of getting more 
info about any of the given API functions. For example:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dataxchg/clipboard
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getclipboarddata
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-enumclipboardformats

Kind Regards,
Adam B. Dodson
