Clipboard event C#

Question

Is there a clipboard changed or updated event that i can access through C#?

Answer 1

Ok so this is an old post but we found a solution that seems very simple compared to the current set of answers. We are using WPF and we wanted to have our own custom Commands (in a ContextMenu) enable and disable if the Clipboard contains text. There is already an ApplicationCommands.Cut, Copy and Paste and these commands respond correctly to the clipboard changing. So we just added the following EventHandler.

ApplicationCommands.Paste.CanExecuteChanged += new EventHandler(Paste_CanExecuteChanged);

private void Paste_CanExecuteChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
  ourVariable= Clipboard.ContainsText();
}

We actually are controlling the CanExecute on our own Command this way. Works for what we needed and maybe it will help others out there.
