Hello ,

Does any one know if the clipboard fires any events (oncopy, onpaste)?

I would assume it does. If so, how would an application handle such an
event? The clipboard class itself does not have one. I am looking to change
the state of a button in my app when another app pastes something on the
clipboard.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can certainly create shell extensions with .NET languages. I've done a
few.

There are a few C++ based clipboard monitor style shell extensions. You
could take some ideas from those.

I think CodeProject has a couple.
