A wrapper over system clipboard

Question

I am developing an application which requires that whenever a specific item is copied, it's contents are modified before it is placed on System clipboard. The whole intention ,here, is to not share this data with other applications running in case it is accidentally copied/pasted by user.

can someone throw some light on it if they experienced the same problem?

Thanks.

You can install a thread-wide message filter and check for the WM_COPY message. Then data can't be copied from standard controls without your code knowing about it.
