Here's a utility class I wrote
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.Clipboard;
import java.awt.datatransfer.ClipboardOwner;
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;
import java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable;
/**
Singleton that allows String or Transferables (Images) to be placed
in the
clipboard. Call boolean result=ClipboardUtils.setContent(var)
if result is false, something went wrong
*/
public class ClipboardUtils {
private final static Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
private final static Clipboard clipboard =
toolkit.getSystemClipboard();
private ClipboardUtils() {
}
public static boolean setContent(StringBuffer content) {
return setContent(content.toString());
}
public static boolean setContent(String content) {
boolean result = true;
try {
StringSelection stringselection = new StringSelection(content);
clipboard.setContents(stringselection, stringselection);
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
result = false;
}
return result;
}
public static boolean setContents(Transferable contents) {
return setContents(contents, null);
}
public static boolean setContents(
Transferable contents,
ClipboardOwner owner) {
boolean result = true;
try {
clipboard.setContents(contents, owner);
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
result = false;
}
return result;
}
}
