  • ClipboardAccessPolicy Class

    Allows you to control clipboard-related operations initiated by users and DevExpress UI controls for WinForms and WPF.

    Namespace: DevExpress.Data.Utils

    Assembly: DevExpress.Data.Desktop.v25.1.dll

    NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Data.Desktop, DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Design

    #Declaration

    public static class ClipboardAccessPolicy

    #Remarks

    Use the following methods to apply a policy (call these methods at application startup):

    The following example demonstrates how to allow users to copy data in ANSI text format displayed in a DevExpress UI control to the clipboard. If the control displays data in a different format, the copy-to-clipboard operation is canceled:

    using System;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using DevExpress.Data.Utils;
    
    namespace DXApplication {
        internal static class Program {
            /// <summary>
            /// The main entry point for the application.
            /// </summary>
            [STAThread]
            static void Main() {
                Application.EnableVisualStyles();
                Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
                ClipboardAccessPolicy.SuppressCopyOperations();
                Application.Run(new Form1());
            }
        }
    }
    

    You can also handle Copying, Pasting, and Clearing events to allow or cancel clipboard operations based on a specific condition.
