Powershell - Get-ClipBoard Set-Clipboard
I recently built GUI tool that needed to gather the content of the clipboard and set a new value. Here is the code I ended up using :)
function Get-ClipBoard {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Retrieve the content of the clipboard
#>
[CmdletBinding()]
PARAM()
try{
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$TextBox = New-Object -TypeName System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$TextBox.Multiline = $true
$TextBox.Paste()
$TextBox.Text
}catch{
$pscmdlet.throwterminatingerror($psitem)
}
}
function Set-ClipBoard {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Set the content of the clipboard
.PARAMETER Text
String to set in Clipboard
#>
[CmdletBinding()]
PARAM($Text)
try{
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$TextBox = New-Object -TypeName System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$TextBox.Multiline = $true
$TextBox.Text = $text
$TextBox.SelectAll()
$TextBox.Copy()
}catch{
$pscmdlet.throwterminatingerror($psitem)
}
}
