The QClipboard class provides access to the window system clipboard. More...
Allows you to share to and from your clipboard using the Share Charm. This is especially useful for bridging desktop applications with Windows Runtime applications that support sharing features. This download is licensed as freeware for the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system on a laptop or desktop PC from clipboard managers without restrictions. XNeat Clipboard Manager 1.0.0.7 is available to all software users as a free download for Windows 10 PCs but also without a hitch on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

The clipboard offers a simple mechanism to copy and paste data between applications.
QClipboard supports the same data types that QDrag does, and uses similar mechanisms. For advanced clipboard usage read Drag and Drop.
There is a single QClipboard object in an application, accessible as QGuiApplication::clipboard().
Example:
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 setMimeData() function is the ultimate in flexibility: it allows you to add any QMimeData 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().
A typical example of the use of these functions follows:
x-special/gnome-copied-files
MIME type with data beginning with the cut/copy action, a newline character, and the URL of the file.macOS supports a separate find buffer that holds the current search string in Find operations. This find clipboard can be accessed by specifying the FindBuffer mode.
See also QGuiApplication.
This enum type is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used by QClipboard::mimeData(), QClipboard::setMimeData() and related functions.
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
QClipboard::Clipboard | 0 | indicates that data should be stored and retrieved from the global clipboard. |
QClipboard::Selection | 1 | indicates that data should be stored and retrieved from the global mouse selection. Support for Selection is provided only on systems with a global mouse selection (e.g. X11). |
QClipboard::FindBuffer | 2 | indicates that data should be stored and retrieved from the Find buffer. This mode is used for holding search strings on macOS. |
See also QClipboard::supportsSelection().
[signal]
void QClipboard::changed(QClipboard::Modemode)This signal is emitted when the data for the given clipboard mode is changed.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also dataChanged(), selectionChanged(), and findBufferChanged().
[signal]
void QClipboard::dataChanged()This signal is emitted when the clipboard data is changed.
On macOS and with Qt version 4.3 or higher, clipboard changes made by other applications will only be detected when the application is activated.
See also findBufferChanged(), selectionChanged(), and changed().
[signal]
void QClipboard::findBufferChanged()This signal is emitted when the find buffer is changed. This only applies to macOS.
With Qt version 4.3 or higher, clipboard changes made by other applications will only be detected when the application is activated.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also dataChanged(), selectionChanged(), and changed().
[signal]
void QClipboard::selectionChanged()This signal is emitted when the selection is changed. This only applies to windowing systems that support selections, e.g. X11. Windows and macOS don't support selections.
See also dataChanged(), findBufferChanged(), and changed().
Clear the clipboard contents.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, this function clears the global clipboard contents. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, this function clears the global mouse selection contents. If mode is QClipboard::FindBuffer, this function clears the search string buffer.
See also QClipboard::Mode and supportsSelection().
Returns the clipboard image, or returns a null image if the clipboard does not contain an image or if it contains an image in an unsupported image format.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the image is retrieved from the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the image is retrieved from the global mouse selection.
See also setImage(), pixmap(), mimeData(), and QImage::isNull().
Returns a pointer to a QMimeData representation of the current clipboard data (can be nullptr
if the given mode is not supported by the platform).
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the data is retrieved from the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the data is retrieved from the global mouse selection. If mode is QClipboard::FindBuffer, the data is retrieved from the search string buffer.
The text(), image(), and pixmap() functions are simpler wrappers for retrieving text, image, and pixmap data.
Note: The pointer returned might become invalidated when the contents of the clipboard changes; either by calling one of the setter functions or externally by the system clipboard changing.
See also setMimeData().
Returns true
if this clipboard object owns the clipboard data; otherwise returns false
.
Returns true
if this clipboard object owns the find buffer data; otherwise returns false
.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
Returns true
if this clipboard object owns the mouse selection data; otherwise returns false
.
Returns the clipboard pixmap, or null if the clipboard does not contain a pixmap. Note that this can lose information. For example, if the image is 24-bit and the display is 8-bit, the result is converted to 8 bits, and if the image has an alpha channel, the result just has a mask.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the pixmap is retrieved from the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the pixmap is retrieved from the global mouse selection.
See also setPixmap(), image(), mimeData(), and QPixmap::convertFromImage().
Copies the image into the clipboard.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the image is stored in the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the data is stored in the global mouse selection.
This is shorthand for:
See also image(), setPixmap(), and setMimeData().
Sets the clipboard data to src. Ownership of the data is transferred to the clipboard. If you want to remove the data either call clear() or call setMimeData() again with new data.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the data is stored in the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the data is stored in the global mouse selection. If mode is QClipboard::FindBuffer, the data is stored in the search string buffer.
The setText(), setImage() and setPixmap() functions are simpler wrappers for setting text, image and pixmap data respectively.
See also mimeData().
Copies pixmap into the clipboard. Note that this is slower than setImage() because it needs to convert the QPixmap to a QImage first.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the pixmap is stored in the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the pixmap is stored in the global mouse selection.
See also pixmap(), setImage(), and setMimeData().
Copies text into the clipboard as plain text.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the text is stored in the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the text is stored in the global mouse selection. If mode is QClipboard::FindBuffer, the text is stored in the search string buffer.
See also text() and setMimeData().
Returns true
if the clipboard supports a separate search buffer; otherwise returns false
.
Returns true
if the clipboard supports mouse selection; otherwise returns false
.
Returns the clipboard text as plain text, or an empty string if the clipboard does not contain any text.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the text is retrieved from the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the text is retrieved from the global mouse selection. If mode is QClipboard::FindBuffer, the text is retrieved from the search string buffer.
See also setText() and mimeData().
This is an overloaded function.
Returns the clipboard text in subtype subtype, or an empty string if the clipboard does not contain any text. If subtype is null, any subtype is acceptable, and subtype is set to the chosen subtype.
The mode argument is used to control which part of the system clipboard is used. If mode is QClipboard::Clipboard, the text is retrieved from the global clipboard. If mode is QClipboard::Selection, the text is retrieved from the global mouse selection.
Common values for subtype are 'plain' and 'html'.
Note that calling this function repeatedly, for instance from a key event handler, may be slow. In such cases, you should use the dataChanged()
signal instead.

Clipboard Actions user reviews :
I think is the best clipboard for Android I have ever tried. I don’t need all these beautiful action like translations, qrcodes etc. I need to copy paste many things. And for that is great. One suggestion. It whould be great if it had an option to appear with the long press like Samsung for example. Also should have an option outo delete entries after a period.
Best clipboard i ever used. Lots of lots of lots of feature. Please download everyone. Its ads free. Loved it. Kudos developer. Request for next update feature. Hi, I clipboard action & manager 1.color changes as per the icon color. So it will look much better. 2.given hidden scrollbar is sometime working some time not.
