Clipboard sample

This sample demonstrates how an app can use clipboard commands, including copy, paste, cut, and move. This sample uses classes from the Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer namespace. Some of the classes you might want to review in more detail include the Clipboard class, which accesses the Clipboard, and the DataPackage class, which you use to package the content before adding it to the Clipboard.

This sample covers the following:

  • How to copy and paste text
  • How to copy and paste an image
  • How to copy and paste files
  • How to get the formats on the Clipboard
  • How to detect changes to the Clipboard

Note The Windows universal samples require Visual Studio 2015 to build and Windows 10 to execute.

To obtain information about Windows 10 development, go to the Windows Dev Center

To obtain information about Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and the tools for developing Windows apps, go to Visual Studio 2015

  3. Starting in the folder where you unzipped the samples, go to the Samples subfolder, then the subfolder for this specific sample, then the subfolder for your preferred language (C++, C#, or JavaScript). Double-click the Visual Studio 2015 Solution (.sln) file.
  4. Press Ctrl+Shift+B, or select Build > Build Solution.

Run the sample

The next steps depend on whether you just want to deploy the sample or you want to both deploy and run it.

Deploying the sample
