    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
