\class QClipboard qclipboard.h
\brief The QClipboard class provides access to the window system clipboard.
\ingroup io
\ingroup environment
\mainclass
The clipboard offers a simple mechanism to copy and paste data
between applications.
QClipboard supports the same data types that QDragObject does, and
uses similar mechanisms. For advanced clipboard usage
read \link dnd.html the drag-and-drop documentation\endlink.
There is a single QClipboard object in an application, and you can
access it using QApplication::clipboard().
Example:
\code
QClipboard *cb = QApplication::clipboard();
// Copy text from the clipboard (paste)
QString text = cb->text(QClipboard::Clipboard);
if ( !text.isNull() )
qDebug( "The clipboard contains: " + text );
// Copy text into the clipboard
cb->setText( "This text can be pasted by other programs",
QClipboard::Clipboard );
\endcode
QClipboard features some convenience functions to access common data
types: setText() allows the exchange of Unicode text and
setPixmap() and setImage() allows the exchange of QPixmaps
and QImages between applications. The setData() function is the
ultimate in flexibility: it allows you to add any QMimeSource into the
clipboard. There are corresponding getters for each of these, e.g.
text(), image() and pixmap().
You can clear the clipboard by calling clear().
\section1 Platform Specific Information
\section2 X11
\list
\i The X11 Window System has the concept of a separate selection
and clipboard. When text is selected, it is immediately available
as the global mouse selection. The global mouse selection may
later be copied to the clipboard. By convention, the middle mouse
button is used to paste the global mouse selection.
\i X11 also has the concept of ownership; if you change the
selection within a window, X11 will only notify the owner and the
previous owner of the change, i.e. it will not notify all
applications that the selection or clipboard data changed.
\i Lastly, the X11 clipboard is event driven, i.e. the clipboard
will not function properly if the event loop is not running.
Similarly, it is recommended that the contents of the clipboard
are stored or retrieved in direct response to user-input events,
e.g. mouse button or key presses and releases. You should not
store or retrieve the clipboard contents in response to timer or
non-user-input events.
\endlist
\section2 Windows
\list
\i Microsoft Windows does not support the global mouse selection;
it only supports the global clipboard, e.g. Windows only adds text
to the clipboard when an explicit copy or cut is made.
\i Windows does not have the concept of ownership; the clipboard
is a fully global resource so all applications are notified of
changes.
\endlist
See the multiclip example in the \e{Qt Designer} examples
directory for an example of a multiplatform clipboard application
that also demonstrates selection handling.
