   A multiplatform clipboard library
  Hello,I wonder if there are any libraries for multiplatform clipboard access.I would like to be able to read from and write to Window's clipboard and to read from & write to linux clipboard.If there are no such libraries, I would like to know how can I access linux's clipboard since I found some useful winapi functions from MSDN.Thank You,Indrek Sünter   
wxWidgets;  So, there are no stand-alone libraries for handling clipboards?It could be possible to use a part of wxWidget's source code.The whole library is too big to use only the clipboard functions..Thank You,Indrek Sünter   ;Quote:Original post by IndrekSntSo, there are no stand-alone libraries for handling clipboards?Clipboard, whatever that means, is purely OS specific functionality. Clipboard, by itself, is the same as using shared memory, or a file to store raw binary data. It's the OS-provided functions that makes it useful and context aware.Let's say you put a block of formatted text on it from FireFox, and paste that into Word. Clipboard is the whole context-aware conversion system that transforms text/ascii/7-bit HTML chunk into MS Word 7.0 representation. That's a lot of conversions and type information to handle. It's not as simple as put/get.Anything below that, and you might as well write to files - but you'd be unable to use that in any meaningful fashion. How do you represent *anything*, even a fraction of something in a meaningful manner?;  I just need to copy text into it or paste out.Its just that I need it to be compatible with both: windows and linux..Thank You,Indrek Sünter
