System.Windows.IDataObject (interface)

System.Windows.IDataObject provides a format independent mechanism for transfering data.

A basic implementation of this interface is implemented with System.Windows.DataObject.

Methods

`GetData()`
`GetDataPresent()`
`GetFormats()`
`SetData()`
`TryGetData()`

Misc

add-type -assemblyName PresentationCore
$clip = [Windows.Clipboard]::GetDataObject()
if ('Csv' -in $clip.GetFormats()) {$mem = $clip.GetData('Csv'); $buf = [byte[]]::new($mem.length); $null = $mem.Read($buf, 0, $mem.length)}; $x = ''; foreach ($c in $buf) { $x = $x += [char]$c} ; $x

add-type -assemblyName PresentationCore

$clip = [Windows.Clipboard]::GetDataObject()

foreach ($fmt in $clip.GetFormats()) {
   try {
      $dat = $clip.GetData($fmt)
      $typ = $dat.GetType()
   }
   catch {
      $typ = '?'
   }

   '{0,-50} {1}' -f $fmt, $typ
}

Memory stream to text:

add-type -assemblyName PresentationCore

$clip = [Windows.Clipboard]::GetDataObject()

$mem = $clip.GetData('Xml Spreadsheet')
$enc = [System.Text.Encoding]::GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1")

$str = $enc.GetString($mem.ToArray())
write-host $str
