Hi all,

I want to have a button in my application that copies a string to the clipboard.

I found an example using qclipboard and within a minute I had it working.
however not fully as expected.
The contents that are copied to the clipboard are only there until you close the qt application.

Now I wondered how I can solve this. I found out there is also a kde specific class: kclipboard.
However there is no documentation (do note that I am not used to program in C++/qt/kde so excuse me for my ignorance).
Can someone give me an example and if that fixes my issue?

Thanks in advance!

I remember the fact that closing an application empies the clipboard as an X11 peculiarity (so nothing you can fix).
There's no such "KClipboard"; the most closer thing is an internal class KClipboardSynchronizer, but that does not do what you want (just synchronizes the clibpoard and the X11 selection).

So there seems to be a class.
But as I don't have any experience with it I believe what you say

Thanks for taking your time to answer my question.

No, this is just the source file containing the internal, unrelated, class I mentioned above:
