Provides static, predefined Clipboard format names. Use them to identify the format of data that you store in an IDataObject.

Public Class DataFormats

Inheritance: Object
DataFormats

Examples

The following code example creates a new data format named myFormat. The code then creates a MyNewObject which it stores in a DataObject. The DataObject is copied to the Clipboard.

Next, the DataObject is retrieved from the Clipboard and the MyNewObject is recovered. The value of the MyNewObject is printed in a text box. This code requires that textBox1 has been created and placed on a form.

Remarks

The IDataObject and DataObject classes also use the static format list to determine the type of data that is retrieved from the system Clipboard, or that is transferred in a drag-and-drop operation.

The GetFormat method allows you to:

Get a predefined DataFormats.Format object for a format name or ID number.
Add a new format name/ID number pair to the static list in this class, and to register the format with the Windows registry as a Clipboard format when you pass it the format name.

You can get the Id number or format Name from the appropriate property in the DataFormats.Format instance.
