[Mono-winforms-list] Clipboard.SetDataObject() doing nothing

[Christoph Teuber]

Hello,

thanks for your fast answer.

You were right, there were several changes, but nothing seems to be
connected with my SetDataObject() problem. But I found this statement:

2007-03-18 Jackson Harper <jackson at ximian.com>

* TextBoxBase.cs: Remove image pasting code for now. There is no
way to get an image on the clipboard right now anyways.

This ist from 2007, so it may be out of date, but does it mean, that
copying images to the clipboard doesn't work at all? I wonder, because

Clipboard.SetImage( im );

or

Clipboard.SetObjectData( im );

doesn't do anything either. (im is an image loaded as posted before). In
contrary,

Clipboard.SetObjectData("this is a test");

does work.

Greetings
cht
