access clipboard contents

[salmon17]

Hi
is there a CEF API to access clipboard contents?
i found out about CefFrame::Copy()/Paste(), but i need to be able to inspect the contents themselves so that, e.g. to provide an API to JS whether clipboard is empty etc.
is this possible through CEF or I'd have to write my own platform-specific handlers?

thanks!

There are already JavaScript APIs for accessing the clipboard. Have you tried using them?

[salmon17]

do you mean something like clipboard.js, or CEF-specific? i thought only 'copy' is possible from js land?

i see - you probably meant chrome.clipboard API
but how to access it? when i type chrome.clipboard in the debug console, it comes undefined
