The Clipboard API allows reading and writing to the clipboard in multiple formats.
Synonym: fin.desktop.System.Clipboard
Asynchronous Methods
- availableFormats(type, callback, errorCallback)
- readHtml(type, callback, errorCallback)
- readRtf(type, callback, errorCallback)
- readText(type, callback, errorCallback)
- writeHtml(data, type, callback, errorCallback)
- writeRtf(data, type, callback, errorCallback)
- writeText(data, type, callback, errorCallback)
- write(type, callback, errorCallback)
All the above listed methods are both:
- Static — called directly on the Systemnamespace
- Asynchronous — having an undefinedimmediate return value but eventually invoking eithercallbackorerrorCallback
