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.v24.1.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.
