System hook for Copy/Paste commands 1

[BogdanMBM]

Hie!
I was wondering if there is a way (API call) to make a
system hook for Copy/Paste commands, so that I'll be notified if a Copy or Paste command on the computer.
I need it to be a system wide hook.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Bogdan.

To be more exact: i don't want just to monitor the keyboard for various combinations of keys to issue a Copy/Paste command. What i wanna do is actualy monitor the clipgoard using API, so that I can know when a Copy/Paste command has been issued, no mather how (keys combination, right click menu, etc.)

Thanks!

Bogdan.

For notification about clipboard copy operation, you need to register a window as a Clipboard Viewer. A clipboard viewer window receives notifications from the system whenever the contents of clipboard are changed. See thread222-576513 for an example of clipboard viewer application.

As far as clipboard paste operation is concerned, there is no system-wide hook or any other mechanism that may notify you of this event. I am not hopeful that Windows API may help you for that.
