Detect Clipboard Changes

[scottkuhl]

Problem
The current implementation of Clipboard does not have an event to listen for content changes.

Solution
Add an EventHandler to the IClipboard interface for monitoring changes.

event EventHandler<EventArgs> ClipboardContentChanged;

Workaround
If an application needs to detect items added to the clipboard it can use a polling timer.

Additional context
You can find an example implementation of this in the .NET MAUI source code.

+1 I'm currently working on a feature where this would be handy. Otherwise I have to check clipboard contents every n seconds..
