C# How can I paste formatted text from clipboard to the RichTextBox

I added context menu to the richboxtext with only one function "paste". What code will paste my clipboard content (e.g. copied from Microsoft Word) to the richboxtext form? I tried with:

    private void PasteToolStripMenuItem_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        richTextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetText();
    }

but it pastes non-formatted text. How can I paste text with the formatting?

Solution

  • Got it!

    Just specificy the format:

    richTextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetText(TextDataFormat.Rtf);

    UPDATE

    This will help you get formatted text(text only) from MS Word
