+ \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.
