    \class TQClipboard ntqclipboard.h
    \brief The TQClipboard 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.

    TQClipboard supports the same data types that TQDragObject does, and
    uses similar mechanisms. For advanced clipboard usage
    read \link dnd.html the drag-and-drop documentation\endlink.

    There is a single TQClipboard object in an application, and you can
    access it using TQApplication::clipboard().

    Example:
    \code
    TQClipboard *cb = TQApplication::clipboard();

    // Copy text from the clipboard (paste)
    TQString text = cb->text(TQClipboard::Clipboard);
    if ( !text.isNull() )
	tqDebug( "The clipboard contains: " + text );

    // Copy text into the clipboard
    cb->setText( "This text can be pasted by other programs",
		 TQClipboard::Clipboard );
    \endcode

    TQClipboard features some convenience functions to access common data
    types: setText() allows the exchange of Unicode text and
    setPixmap() and setImage() allows the exchange of TQPixmaps
    and TQImages between applications. The setData() function is the
    ultimate in flexibility: it allows you to add any TQMimeSource 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{TQt Designer} examples
    directory for an example of a multiplatform clipboard application
    that also demonstrates selection handling.

    Call TQApplication::clipboard() instead to get a pointer to the

    There is only one clipboard in the window system, and creating
    more than one object to represent it is almost certainly an error.

    \keyword clipboard mode

    This enum type is used to control which part of the system clipboard is

    the global clipboard.

    \value Selection  indicates that data should be stored and retrieved from

/*! \fn void TQClipboard::setData( TQMimeSource *src, Mode mode )
    Sets the clipboard data to \a src. Ownership of the data is
    transferred to the clipboard. If you want to remove the data
    either call clear() or call setData() again with new data.

    The \a mode argument is used to control which part of the system
    clipboard is used.  If \a mode is TQClipboard::Clipboard, the
    data is retrieved from the global clipboard.  If \a mode is
    TQClipboard::Selection, the data is retrieved from the global
    mouse selection.

    The TQDragObject subclasses are reasonable objects to put into the
    clipboard (but do not try to call TQDragObject::drag() on the same
    object). Any TQDragObject placed in the clipboard should have a
    parent of 0. Do not put TQDragMoveEvent or TQDropEvent subclasses in
    the clipboard, as they do not belong to the event handler which
    receives them.

    The setText(), setImage() and setPixmap() functions are simpler
    wrappers for setting text, image and pixmap data respectively.
