I have searched for 'clipboard' on this site but everything I have read is a bit complicated for me (still a newbie).
I have a C++ program that outputs text data to the screen (in it's own little window) to which I then manually copy the data, via the clipboard, to several other programs.
Now I realise that I should be able to write the data straight to the clipboard which would speed things up immensely; note that I don't want to read the data from the clipboard via C++.
