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()
).

I want to copy some string to clipboard in my C++ application. How can I do that? Also is it possible to copy the formatting as well? Thank You
