Is there a way to determine what kind of data currently is in the clipboard? I'm trying to check this on HCL Notes' QueryPaste-event, which occurs when a user is about to paste "something" into a view. It would be awesome if I could check whether the clipboard's content is a file - if so, I'd like to write this file to disc an process its content.
Any ideas about this?
Thanks, Buzzy
It should be possible for LotusScript to call Windows platform APIs to query the Windows clipboard, but doing what you want from a view's QueryPaste event isn't possible.
I've done some testing, and found that if a user hasn't copied any Notes documents in the current session (i.e. between starting Notes and quitting Notes), then a view's QueryPaste event doesn't run when trying to paste anything. QueryPaste only runs when pasting Notes documents.
