Event Monitoring.

Hi,

Is there any way out that I can log copy/cut-paste events....?


Thanks & Regards,
Jaydeep.

Hi Jaydeep,

There is a System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard class that provides some ability
to work with the System Clipboard. However, this does not have events
associated with it. Also, you didn't mention whether you want to monitor
Clipboard events in an application, or for the entire OS. If you want to
monitor Clipboard events in an application, you can simply raise an event
whenever you access the Clipboard. If you want to monitor *all* Clipboard
events, you will need to use the unmanaged Windows API and PInvoke. The
documentation for the WinAPI Clipboard, and all of its events, is:

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for reply. Actually I want to monitor what a user is pasting on
a USB - Drive or burns on a CD.

Thanks & Regards,

That would entail using the Windows API with PInvoke.
