Copy to clipboard in C++?

10,767

You said you use Qt in one of your comments.

Qt has the class QClipboard, which is what you want (bonus: this is cross-platform).

You can put almost anything you want, data is managed via MIME types. That means you can use your own data formatting in the clipboard, with a 'custom' MIME type. Note that formatting is usually done with html text (text/html), whereas plain text is in text/plain (for plain text Qt provides the function text()).
