copy and paste in program

[Jimmy Cao]

The other way is a bit more complicated.
Try this:

import std.stdio;
import core.stdc.string;
import std.string;

extern(Windows) {
   bool OpenClipboard(void*);
   void* GetClipboardData(uint);
   void* SetClipboardData(uint, void*);
   bool EmptyClipboard();
   bool CloseClipboard();
   void* GlobalAlloc(uint, size_t);
   void* GlobalLock(void*);
   bool GlobalUnlock(void*);
}

void main() {
   if (OpenClipboard(null)) {
       auto cstr = cast(char*)GetClipboardData( 1 );
       if(cstr)
           writeln(cstr[0..strlen(cstr)]);
       EmptyClipboard();

       auto mystr = "my data";
       void* handle = GlobalAlloc(2, mystr.length + 1);
       void* ptr = GlobalLock(handle);
       memcpy(ptr, toStringz(mystr), mystr.length + 1);
       GlobalUnlock(handle);

       SetClipboardData( 1, handle);
       CloseClipboard();
   }
}
