I would like to know if there is an easy way to detect if the text on the clipboard is in ISO 8859 or UTF-8 ?

Here is my current code:

    COleDataObject  obj;      if (obj.AttachClipboard())     {         if (obj.IsDataAvailable(CF_TEXT))         {             HGLOBAL hmem = obj.GetGlobalData(CF_TEXT);             CMemFile sf((BYTE*) ::GlobalLock(hmem),(UINT) ::GlobalSize(hmem));             CString buffer;              LPSTR str = buffer.GetBufferSetLength((int)::GlobalSize(hmem));             sf.Read(str,(UINT) ::GlobalSize(hmem));             ::GlobalUnlock(hmem);              //this is my string class             s->SetEncoding(ENCODING_8BIT);             s->SetString(buffer);         }     } }

  1. Check out the definition of CF_LOCALE at this Microsoft page. It tells you the locale of the text in the clipboard. Better yet, if you use CF_UNICODETEXT instead, Windows will convert to UTF-16 for you.
