How to get paste html before it is beeing pasted

Hello Guys,

Yesterday downloaded CKEditor and what a beauty.

However, I want to create a function where I need to get the HTML of a paste event before it is beeing pasted. I want to limit the paste functionality to certain images so I want to cancel the paste event if the pasted item is not an image.

I am able to get the pasted html after it has been pasted by this:

CKEDITOR.on('instanceReady', function (ev) {
     setTimeout(function () {
           console.debug(ev.editor.getSelection().getSelectedElement().$);
     100);
});

But then it is already pasted, so I cant cancel it anymore if I want to prevent pasting.

See the editor#paste event.

See the editor#paste event. You can cancel it if you want to block pasting:

editor.on( 'paste', function( evt ) {
    if ( !checkImage( evt.data.dataValue ) )
        evt.cancel();
} );

Is this also possible for the drop event? Like when you drop images from outside to inside the editor?
