how to copy text to the clipborad in c++?

Question

I am a new programmer in c++ and I can't understand how to use the clipboard to copy and paste like in any other program with text. Example please?

I am using Code::Blocks 16.01 MinGW32 g++ windows 10.

Answer 1

SetClipboardData should handle it.

glob = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED,32);
memcpy(glob,"it works",9);

OpenClipboard(hWnd);
EmptyClipboard();
SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT,glob);
CloseClipboard();

EDIT

This will get data out of clipboard and return that data in string.

std::string GetClipboardText()
{
    OpenClipboard(nullptr);
    HANDLE hData = GetClipboardData(CF_TEXT);

    char * pszText = static_cast<char*>( GlobalLock(hData) );
    std::string text( pszText );

    GlobalUnlock( hData );
    CloseClipboard();

    return text;
}
