  • You could make a keylogger and listen for your key combination and then copy the original clipboard. and to print it use sendkeys. because I assume it is very hard to read data from a window – Pepernoot Oct 19 '16 at 14:39

Check MSDN documentation for Clipboard class.

You should be able to resolve your problem with GetDataObject() and SetDataObject(...) methods.

Example (untested):

var previousData = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
// TODO: copy text to your clipboard as you already do.
Clipboard.SetDataObject(previousData, true);
// TODO: proceed with usual operations.

Depending on the situation, you might even be able to solve the problem without using the clipboard. For instance by directly inserting text into the textbox of your application or reading from another program's window.
