CutCopyDragWithHtml doesn't include font information

I tried specifying the font info in a style attribute but OneNote doesnt seem to pay attention to it and just uses its default font family and size.

I don't think that's true, as I can paste stuff in from IE and get the correct font to be used. Here's an example that worked fine -- this is the text from the clipboard. This is the site: http://www.dexterlittleleague.com/

Thanks,
Jeff

I've tried this over and over with no good results. I even copied the span tags right from your sample and included them around what we send with no change. I don't believe it pays attention to the font data in CF_HTML.

Also note that when you paste from IE into OneNote, it includes a thing like this at the bottom:
"Pasted from <https://www.actiprosoftware.com/Default.aspx>"

This means it uses another method when copying from IE and is not getting data from CF_HTML.

I took that text (what I had pulled from the IE clipboard), and used it in the editor_CutCopyDrag event handler in your C# sample application, essentially replacing what would have gone on the clipboard for the "HTML Format" data with that exact text.

Pasting that into OneNote worked fine, including the page reference, which seems to be being grabbed from a SourceURL property.

So, there must be a little more to the picture than what you're seeing. Keep in mind that making this work requires the previous fix to get HTML Format to work at all.

OneNote sure seems buggy. Look at this... if I paste in this I see two different font sizes (correct):

Format:HTML Format
Version:1.0
StartHTML:     165
EndHTML:     522
StartFragment:     314
EndFragment:     490
StartSelection:     314
EndSelection:     314
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>SyntaxEditor Code Snippet</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><!--StartFragment--><p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 24pt; COLOR: #ff6600; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Test1</SPAN></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 20pt; COLOR: #ff6600; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Test2</SPAN></p><!--EndFragment--></BODY></HTML>

If I take out the two paragraphs, it uses the default font (buggy) and ignores the spans. Same if I have one paragraph that surrounds the entire text block:

Format:HTML Format
Version:1.0
StartHTML:     165
EndHTML:     508
StartFragment:     314
EndFragment:     476
StartSelection:     314
EndSelection:     314
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>SyntaxEditor Code Snippet</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><!--StartFragment--><span style="FONT-SIZE: 24pt; COLOR: #ff6600; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Test1</SPAN>
<span style="FONT-SIZE: 20pt; COLOR: #ff6600; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Test2</SPAN><!--EndFragment--></BODY></HTML>

With this information, I'm afraid there is nothing more we can do.
