Trigger event when data copied to clipboard

Dustin Davis

Is it possible to trigger an event in VB.NET whenever anything is copied
to the clipboard?

AFAIK, there is no built-in support for this.

What I've done in the past is to simply use a Timer and to monitor the
Clipboard content(s) in the timer event.
