Here, I just created a class named Clipboard Items which inherits from and in constructor of this class, I am passing container (Form1) for this buttons. In order to create buttons for each clipboard item, I implemented concept of control array of VB here. I will outline functionality of each class file.įunctionality present in ClipBoardItems.cs: I added three class files to the application. Now, I will explain coding part of this application. The main functionality of this application is it will create a button on main form whenever you copy new data onto clipboard along with that it will display icon of application from where you copied data onto clipboard and its time of copy by monitoring contents of System's Clipboard for every second by using object. Exit is used to end execution of the application.Show ControlBox allows us to set whether application should show controlbox or not.Control Form Thickness allows us to increase or decrease thickness (Opacity) of main form.
REMOVE ALL OF CLIP MANAGER WINDOWS
Show on Top allows us to set whether application should be shown on top of all windows or not.Show In Taskbar allows us to set whether application should be shown in taskbar or not.Show/Hide to show or hide the application.Save Items to File (Saves contents of application (Clipboard items) onto a file for further reference).įollowing are the menuitems present in cxttaskbar context menu (assigned to NotifyIcon):Īll menuitems present in this context menu are related to UI settings of Application:.Remove All Clipboard items (Remove all clipboard items from application).Remove This Clipboard Data (Removes selected clipboard item from application).Copy To Clipboard (this is used to copy selected clipboard item from application onto Clipboard).One contextmenu is assigned to Form1 (to button displayed on the form for each clipboard item) and another to NotifyIcon.įollowing are the menuitems present in cxtmnuclip context menu (assigned to Form1's clipboard item): Here, I set following properties of Form1:Īnd I placed a Tooltip and NotifyIcon followed by two contextmenus. Add controls to Main Form (Form1) as shown below: Now, create a new Windows Application using C# in VS.NET 2003 and name it as ClipBoardWatcher. Now, Clipboard data is just a click away from us.Shows Icon of the application from where you copied data onto clipboard.Shows time at which you copied data into clipboard.It allows us to save entire clipboard data into permanent storage like file.
It won't support queuing, saving of clipboard data, showing time of copy occurred and application name from where you copied data etc. But, Windows's Clipboard will make our work of copying and pasting little bit hard. For most of the Programmers, copy and paste is frequently doing task in their daily life.
