Is there any way to save the contents of the clipboard in memory? I need to
use the clipboard to perform an action, then restore it's original contents.

Thanks -

Look at TClipboard.GetAsHandle.

Unfortunately I don't know what's going to be in the clipboard (text,
pictures, both, something else) so I can't use this.

Check TClipboard.HasFormat first, then act accordingly.

Yes, in principle, but it is absolutely impractical in praxi. The problem is
that you simply cannot restore the clipboard to its original state exactly.
Don't waste any time on this, better look for some way to do your "action"
without involving the clipboard.
