Examples

Here we show how to test whether the content on the clipboard can be added to an InkStroke collection before calling the PasteFromClipboard method.

This example specifies the insertion point for the bounding rectangle at (100, 60), but this can be customized as required.

function paste(evt)
{
    var insertionPoint = {x: 100, y: 60};
    var canPaste = inkManager.canPasteFromClipboard();
    if (canPaste)
    {
        inkManager.pasteFromClipboard(insertionPoint);
        sdkSample.displayStatus("Pasted");
        renderAllStrokes();
    }
    else
    {
        sdkSample.displayStatus("Cannot paste");
    }
}

Remarks

The content of the clipboard must be in Ink Serialized Format (ISF) format.

The InkStroke content from the clipboard is selected. Any existing selection is discarded.
