OneNote XML to Clipboard

[dyowee]

Good day!
Is it possible to paste the Outline fragment of the OneNote XML to the
clipboard programmatically, then paste it to Word as RTF, or retrieve it as
RTF?

Thank you very much.

Yes. Check the GetPageContent(...) method at

Also, check the powertoys at
http://blogs.msdn.com/johnguin/arch...te-powertoys-from-the-test-team-for-2007.aspx - many of them include sample code.

This will let you get the XML content from OneNote. I suggest using the
system clipboard object to paste it into whatever app you want to use rather
than trying to convert directly to rich edit.

Good day John! I tried it but it doesn't work. The XML is pasted into the
Word document as is, not just the text part.

Clipboard.SetData(DataFormats.Rtf, @"<one:Outline >" +
" <oneosition x=\"120\" y=\"160\"/>" +
" <one:Size width=\"120\" height=\"15\"/>" +
" <one:OEChildren>" +
" <one:OE alignment=\"left\">" +
" <one:T>" +
" <![CDATA[Sample Text]]>" +
" </one:T>" +
" </one:OE>" +
" </one:OEChildren>" +
" </one:Outline>");

object missing = Type.Missing;
ApplicationClass appClass = new ApplicationClass();
Document d = appClass.Documents.Add(ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing);
appClass.Selection.Paste();

Good day John! I tried the following code, but it didn't work. The whole XML
got pasted, not just the text part. Why is this so?

Clipboard.SetData(DataFormats.Rtf, @"<one:Outline >" +
" <oneosition x=\"120\" y=\"160\"/>" +
" <one:Size width=\"120\" height=\"15\"/>" +
" <one:OEChildren>" +
" <one:OE alignment=\"left\">" +
" <one:T>" +
" <![CDATA[Sample Text]]>" +
" </one:T>" +
" </one:OE>" +
" </one:OEChildren>" +
" </one:Outline>");

object missing = Type.Missing;
ApplicationClass appClass = new ApplicationClass();
Document d = appClass.Documents.Add(ref missing, ref missing,
ref missing, ref missing);
appClass.Selection.Paste();
