Question

I have an image copied to the clicpboard from the word using “Comment.Scope.CopyAsPicture()”
How can i find the type of this image in the clipboard, so that i can write the image with proper extension in local file system?

Answer 1

In DataFromats we have only Bitmap member…

normally you choose the format to store

IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject();

if (data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap))
{
  Bitmap bitmap = (data.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap,true) as Bitmap);

  bitmap.Save("image.bmp",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
  bitmap.Save("image.jpg",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);

}

but You can create Your own format and use it

DataFormats.Format jepgFormat = DataFormats.GetFormat("jpgFormat");

Image image = new Image(); 
DataObject myDataObject = new DataObject(jpegFormat.Name, image );

// Copies myObject into the clipboard.
Clipboard.SetDataObject(myDataObject);
