ClipboardText property is not cleaned when the Clipboard is cleared. #19

I found that the ClipboardText property is not cleaned after a System.Window.Clipboard.Clear().

By default, the ClipboardText property acts like a cache for storing the last copied clipboard text, meaning that it does not directly reference the clipboard's contents.

I'll see what I can do in the next release. For now, try using the Clipboard.ContainsText() method before using the ClipboardText property.

Ideas:

Let each clipboard object have its last clipboard variant property, e.g. LastClipboardText.
Automatically update each clipboard object based on the current clipboard's contents.

As of 3.5.2 Clipboard.ContainsText() does not exist.

Willy-Kimura commented 3 years ago

No, I meant using System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard. The class mentioned contains the method ContainsText(), e.g. System Windows.Forms.ContainsText().

I end up keeping the last value of the clipboard on my side. You could add the last value property that you were talking. But I think it would make sense that you keep a way to have those values up to date on your side. ❤️

Btw is there a way I can try this before buying? https://gumroad.com/l/qmWSh

Thanks for the input. Will try that out.

As for TrialMaker, yes you can definitely reach out for a trial preview of the library. I'll also provide complete documentation and a sample demo just to give you a preview of what it looks like and how it works.
