[api-dev] inspect contents of the clipboard

2009-01-16 Thread Cor Nouws 

Hi *,

I try to find out how to check the contents of the clipboard. In detail.

Knowing this [1] and various examples, it is clear that I can check the 
data flavor [2], and thus also if it for example represents Star Embed 
Source (XML).
However, can I check for example the formatting information of the 
contents of the clipboard?


Thanks,
Cor

If you like to parse the ODF or RTF content on your own - yes ;)

You can't know such thing w/o looking into the content.

And if you look into the content, keep in mind that this action might
result in some export on demand.

For example, if you press copy in Writer, the data object is registered,
together with the information that you can get RTF, but actually no RTF
is generated until someone really wants to have it.

Same would be true for ODF - not sure if we offer ODF directly in the
clipboard nowadays. In the past, mainly RTF was used for formatted text.

Thanks. This confirms my impression that it is not an easy route, and 
not at all offered via ('simple') API-calls.


Ciao,
