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. */ /*! \internal Constructs a clipboard object.
