if (Clipboard.ContainsText(TextDataFormat.Html))
returnHtmlText = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Html);
Clipboard.SetText(replacementHtmlText, TextDataFormat.Html);
return returnHtmlText;
' Demonstrates SetText, ContainsText, and GetText.
Public Function SwapClipboardHtmlText( _
ByVal replacementHtmlText As String) As String
Dim returnHtmlText As String = Nothing
If (Clipboard.ContainsText(TextDataFormat.Html)) Then
returnHtmlText = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Html)
Clipboard.SetText(replacementHtmlText, TextDataFormat.Html)
End If
Return returnHtmlText
End Function
Remarks
This method adds text data in the
UnicodeText
format on Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000. Otherwise, this method adds text data in the
Text

To retrieve text data from the Clipboard, first use the
ContainsText
method to determine whether the Clipboard contains text data before retrieving it with the
GetText
method.
The
Clipboard
class can only be used in threads set to single thread apartment (STA) mode. To use this class, ensure that your
Main
method is marked with the
STAThreadAttribute
attribute.
