Re: How to copy an image using win32clipboard

Hi Pranav,

Just resending this to the list. 
Here's a great resource: http://timgolden.me.uk/pywin32-docs/win32clipboard.html

The document covers the win32clipboard module very well.The API you'll want to reference is the Win32 API. If you need to reference the protocol/steps in an even more verbose way, WinUser.h's MSDN pages' remarks section will fill any of those gaps.

One such pearl is a warning about about clipboard data:  "Clipboard data is not trusted. Parse the data 
carefully before using it in your application."

Tim's page does a good job with pointing you in the direction of getting more info about any of the given API functions. For example:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dataxchg/clipboard
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getclipboarddata
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-enumclipboardformats

Kind Regards,
Adam B. Dodson

Subject: [python-win32] How to copy an image using win32clipboard 
 
Hello,
 
When we take a snip on windows OS, it automatically goes to clipboard. I want to access any copied image using win32clipboard. How do I do that?
Please check this for more reference: Closed issue
Thank you and pardon me for any missing things as I’m new to this mailing list.
Regards,
Pranav
