I think this has been a problem in the past, but I’ve never seen it until now.
I’m trying to set the picture property of the clipboard to a Xojo Picture. Works well on Mac.
Works on Windows unless there is already something on the clipboard.
Can anyone else replicate this?
Is it a known issue?
Is there a workaround?
Maybe inspect the clipboard before/after with WindowsClipboardMBS class?
One problem on Windows is that you may have different type of images in the clipboard.
It could be a bitmap, a DIB, a JPEFG or one of the other formats.
Have-you tried to set the Clipboard to Nil, Close then … Set your Image to Clipboard.Picture ?
I did try your plugin too.
Still didn’t work as expected even though it looked like it was right when inspecting.
But if I create a new Clipboard and set the picture and text to nil / “” it seems to fix it.
This is odd, but at least there is a workaround.
It looks like setting clipboard properties first clears the clipboard on Mac but doesn’t clear it on Windows. Probably not odd, just a different implementation.
I found this document on the Clipboard ans Windows:
Are-you using the Cloud ?
They also talk about a Clipboard History.
Nope. Not using the cloud.
It does seem to be clearing it on Windows as I described above.
