Copy QTableWidget cell content to clipboard

[Imhotep]

I built up a context menu that opens with right-click on the cell in a QTableWidget. Could you help me to create a command to copy the contents of that cell to the clipboard? The examples I have found on the web are really bad.

Thanks in advance

I don't have any examples for "QClipboard":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qclipboard.html under my hands so this is my idea

• get the system clipboard
  @
  clipboard = QApplication::clipboard();
  @

• connect copy menu item to some slot

• in the slot put a content of QTableWidget cell into clipboard
  @
  clipboard->setText(lineEdit->text(), QClipboard::Clipboard);
  clipboard->setText(lineEdit->text(), QClipboard::Selection);
  @

See "here":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtwidgets-widgets-charactermap-example.html#mainwindow-class-implementation for additional details
or if you have installed Qt from qt-project websiate then
