Monitoring the clipboard?

[Richard L Rosenheim]

Is there a way in .NET to monitor the clipboard? Specifically, I'm looking
to have an event triggered whenever any program pastes anything to the
clipboard.

TIA,

Hi,

It can't be done using only managed code but you can use the P/Invoke and
the Windows API.

I have an article and sample code on how to do this here:

Thanks for the reply, and the link. It's looks great.
