C # How to paste formatted text from clipboard into RichTextBox

I added a context menu to the richboxtext using only one "paste" function. What code pastes clipboard content (like copied from Microsoft Word) into a richboxtext form? I tried:

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

but it inserts unformatted text. How do I insert formatted text?

Got it!

Just specify the format:

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


UPDATE

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

DataFormats.Format myFormat = DataFormats.GetFormat(DataFormats.Html);

if(richTextBox1.CanPaste(myFormat))
{
    richTextBox1.Paste(myFormat);
    return true;
}

you should change the Dataformats.Html to the type that the Richtextbox should allow.



Here is a list of DataFormats: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.dataformats.aspx

Try:

richTextBox1.selectedRtf=Clipboard.GetData(DataFormats.Rtf).ToString();
