+
+
+The QClipboard class provides access to the window system clipboard.
+<p>
+
+
+<p> The clipboard offers a simple mechanism to copy and paste data
+between applications.
+<p> QClipboard supports the same data types that <a href="qdragobject.html">QDragObject</a> does, and
+uses similar mechanisms. For advanced clipboard usage
+read <a href="dnd.html">the drag-and-drop documentation</a>.
+<p> There is a single QClipboard object in an application, and you can
+access it using <a href="qapplication.html#clipboard">QApplication::clipboard</a>().
+<p> Example:
+<pre>
+ QClipboard *cb = QApplication::<a href="qapplication.html#clipboard">clipboard</a>();
+
+ // Copy text from the clipboard (paste)
+ <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> text = cb-&gt;<a href="#text">text</a>(QClipboard::<a href="#Mode-enum">Clipboard</a>);
+ if ( !text.<a href="qstring.html#isNull">isNull</a>() )
+ <a href="qapplication.html#qDebug">qDebug</a>( "The clipboard contains: " + text );
+
+ // Copy text into the clipboard
+ cb-&gt;<a href="#setText">setText</a>( "This text can be pasted by other programs",
+ QClipboard::<a href="#Mode-enum">Clipboard</a> );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> QClipboard features some convenience functions to access common data
+types: <a href="#setText">setText</a>() allows the exchange of Unicode text and
+<a href="#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>() and <a href="#setImage">setImage</a>() allows the exchange of QPixmaps
+and QImages between applications. The <a href="#setData">setData</a>() function is the
+ultimate in flexibility: it allows you to add any <a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a> into the
+clipboard. There are corresponding getters for each of these, e.g.
+<a href="#text">text</a>(), <a href="#image">image</a>() and <a href="#pixmap">pixmap</a>().
+<p> You can clear the clipboard by calling <a href="#clear">clear</a>().
+<p> <h3> Platform Specific Information
+</h3>
+<a name="1"></a><p> <h4> X11
+</h4>
+<a name="1-1"></a><p> <ul>
+<p> <li> 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.
+<p> <li> 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.
+<p> <li> 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.
+<p> </ul>
+<p> <h4> Windows
+</h4>
+<a name="1-1-1"></a><p> <ul>
+<p> <li> 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.
+<p> <li> Windows does not have the concept of ownership; the clipboard
+is a fully global resource so all applications are notified of
+changes.
+<p> </ul>
+<p> See the multiclip example in the <em>Qt Designer</em> examples
+directory for an example of a multiplatform clipboard application
+that also demonstrates selection handling.
+<p>See also <a href="environment.html">Environment Classes</a> and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>.

+<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
+<h3 class=fn><a name="Mode-enum"></a>QClipboard::Mode</h3>
+<!-- index clipboard mode -->
+<p> This enum type is used to control which part of the system clipboard is
+used by <a href="#data">QClipboard::data</a>(), <a href="#setData">QClipboard::setData</a>() and related functions.
+<ul>
+<li><tt>QClipboard::Clipboard</tt> - indicates that data should be stored and retrieved from
+the global clipboard.
+<li><tt>QClipboard::Selection</tt> - indicates that data should be stored and retrieved from
+the global mouse selection.
+</ul><p> <em>Note</em>: Support for <a href="#Mode-enum">Selection</a> is provided only on systems with a
+global mouse selection (e.g. X11).
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#supportsSelection">QClipboard::supportsSelection</a>().
+
+<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>QClipboard::clear ( <a href="qclipboard.html#Mode-enum">Mode</a>&nbsp;mode )
+</h3>
+Clear the clipboard contents.
+<p> The <em>mode</em> argument is used to control which part of the system
+clipboard is used. If <em>mode</em> is QClipboard::Clipboard, this
+function clears the the global clipboard contents. If <em>mode</em> is
+QClipboard::Selection, this function clears the global mouse
+selection contents.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#Mode-enum">QClipboard::Mode</a> and <a href="#supportsSelection">supportsSelection</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear-2"></a>QClipboard::clear ()
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> This function uses the <a href="#clear">QClipboard::clear</a>() function which takes
+a QClipboard::Mode argument. The value of the mode argument is
+determined by the return value of <a href="#selectionModeEnabled">selectionModeEnabled</a>().
+If selectionModeEnabled() returns TRUE, the mode argument is
+QClipboard::Selection, otherwise the mode argument is QClipboard::Clipboard.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a>&nbsp;* <a name="data"></a>QClipboard::data ( <a href="qclipboard.html#Mode-enum">Mode</a>&nbsp;mode ) const
+</h3>
+Returns a reference to a <a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a> representation of the current
+clipboard data.
+<p> The <em>mode</em> argument is used to control which part of the system
+clipboard is used. If <em>mode</em> is QClipboard::Clipboard, the
+data is retrieved from the global clipboard. If <em>mode</em> is
+QClipboard::Selection, the data is retrieved from the global
+mouse selection.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setData">setData</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a>&nbsp;* <a name="data-2"></a>QClipboard::data () const
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> This function uses the <a href="#data">QClipboard::data</a>() function which takes
+a QClipboard::Mode argument. The value of the mode argument is
+determined by the return value of <a href="#selectionModeEnabled">selectionModeEnabled</a>().
+If selectionModeEnabled() returns TRUE, the mode argument is
+QClipboard::Selection, otherwise the mode argument is
+QClipboard::Clipboard.
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="dataChanged"></a>QClipboard::dataChanged ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> This signal is emitted when the clipboard data is changed.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> <a name="image"></a>QClipboard::image ( <a href="qclipboard.html#Mode-enum">Mode</a>&nbsp;mode ) const
+</h3>
+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.
+<p> The <em>mode</em> argument is used to control which part of the system
+clipboard is used. If <em>mode</em> is QClipboard::Clipboard, the
+image is retrieved from the global clipboard. If <em>mode</em> is
+QClipboard::Selection, the image is retrieved from the global
+mouse selection.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setImage">setImage</a>(), <a href="#pixmap">pixmap</a>(), <a href="#data">data</a>(), and <a href="qimage.html#isNull">QImage::isNull</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> <a name="image-2"></a>QClipboard::image () const
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> This function uses the <a href="#image">QClipboard::image</a>() function which takes
+a QClipboard::Mode argument. The value of the mode argument is
+determined by the return value of <a href="#selectionModeEnabled">selectionModeEnabled</a>().
+If selectionModeEnabled() returns TRUE, the mode argument is
+QClipboard::Selection, otherwise the mode argument is
+QClipboard::Clipboard.
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="ownsClipboard"></a>QClipboard::ownsClipboard () const
+</h3>
+Returns TRUE if this clipboard object owns the clipboard data;
+otherwise returns FALSE.
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="ownsSelection"></a>QClipboard::ownsSelection () const
+</h3>
+Returns TRUE if this clipboard object owns the mouse selection
+data; otherwise returns FALSE.
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> <a name="pixmap"></a>QClipboard::pixmap ( <a href="qclipboard.html#Mode-enum">Mode</a>&nbsp;mode ) const
+</h3>
+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.
+<p> The <em>mode</em> argument is used to control which part of the system
+clipboard is used. If <em>mode</em> is QClipboard::Clipboard, the
+pixmap is retrieved from the global clipboard. If <em>mode</em> is
+QClipboard::Selection, the pixmap is retrieved from the global
+mouse selection.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>(), <a href="#image">image</a>(), <a href="#data">data</a>(), and <a href="qpixmap.html#convertFromImage">QPixmap::convertFromImage</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> <a name="pixmap-2"></a>QClipboard::pixmap () const
+</h3>
+This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
+<p> This function uses the <a href="#pixmap">QClipboard::pixmap</a>() function which takes
+a QClipboard::Mode argument. The value of the mode argument is
+determined by the return value of <a href="#selectionModeEnabled">selectionModeEnabled</a>().
+If selectionModeEnabled() returns TRUE, the mode argument is
+QClipboard::Selection, otherwise the mode argument is
+QClipboard::Clipboard.
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="selectionChanged"></a>QClipboard::selectionChanged ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> This signal is emitted when the selection is changed. This only
+applies to windowing systems that support selections, e.g. X11.
+Windows doesn't support selections.
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="selectionModeEnabled"></a>QClipboard::selectionModeEnabled () const
+</h3> <b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
+<p> Use the <a href="#data">QClipboard::data</a>(), <a href="#setData">QClipboard::setData</a>() and related functions
+which take a QClipboard::Mode argument.
+<p> Returns the selection mode.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setSelectionMode">setSelectionMode</a>() and <a href="#supportsSelection">supportsSelection</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setData"></a>QClipboard::setData ( <a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;src, <a href="qclipboard.html#Mode-enum">Mode</a>&nbsp;mode )
+</h3>
+Sets the clipboard data to <em>src</em>. Ownership of the data is
+transferred to the clipboard. If you want to remove the data
+either call <a href="#clear">clear</a>() or call <a href="#setData">setData</a>() again with new data.
+<p> The <em>mode</em> argument is used to control which part of the system
+clipboard is used. If <em>mode</em> is QClipboard::Clipboard, the
+data is retrieved from the global clipboard. If <em>mode</em> is
+QClipboard::Selection, the data is retrieved from the global
+mouse selection.
+<p> The <a href="qdragobject.html">QDragObject</a> subclasses are reasonable objects to put into the
+clipboard (but do not try to call <a href="qdragobject.html#drag">QDragObject::drag</a>() on the same
+object). Any QDragObject placed in the clipboard should have a
+parent of 0. Do not put <a href="qdragmoveevent.html">QDragMoveEvent</a> or <a href="qdropevent.html">QDropEvent</a> subclasses in
+the clipboard, as they do not belong to the event handler which
+receives them.
+<p> The <a href="#setText">setText</a>(), <a href="#setImage">setImage</a>() and <a href="#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>() functions are simpler
+wrappers for setting text, image and pixmap data respectively.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#data">data</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setData-2"></a>QClipboard::setData ( <a href="qmimesource.html">QMimeSource</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;src )

+a QClipboard::Mode argument. The value of the mode argument is
+determined by the return value of <a href="#selectionModeEnabled">selectionModeEnabled</a>().
+If selectionModeEnabled() returns TRUE, the mode argument is

+</h3>
+Copies <em>image</em> into the clipboard.
+<p> The <em>mode</em> argument is used to control which part of the system
+clipboard is used. If <em>mode</em> is QClipboard::Clipboard, the
+image is stored in the global clipboard. If <em>mode</em> is
+QClipboard::Selection, the data is stored in the global
+mouse selection.
+<p> This is shorthand for:
+<pre>

+ </pre>
+
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#image">image</a>(), <a href="#setPixmap">setPixmap</a>(), and <a href="#setData">setData</a>().

+</h3>
+Copies <em>pixmap</em> into the clipboard. Note that this is slower
+than <a href="#setImage">setImage</a>() because it needs to convert the <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> to a
+<a href="qimage.html">QImage</a> first.
+<p> The <em>mode</em> argument is used to control which part of the system

+</h3>
+Copies <em>text</em> into the clipboard as plain text.
+<p> The <em>mode</em> argument is used to control which part of the system
+clipboard is used. If <em>mode</em> is QClipboard::Clipboard, the
