Ink.ClipboardPaste Method

Pastes an IDataObject from the Clipboard to the specified point in this Ink object.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET	Public Function ClipboardPaste( _ ByVal pt As Point _ ) As Strokes
C#	public Strokes ClipboardPaste( Point pt );
Managed C++	public: Strokes* ClipboardPaste( Point *pt );

Parameters

pt	System.Drawing.Point. The point to paste to, in ink space coordinates. The default value is {0, 0}.

Remarks

An exception is thrown if an unexpected error occurs while accessing the Clipboard .

Security Alert: If using under partial trust, this method requires UIPermissionClipboard.AllClipboard permission. See Security And Trust for more information.
