Hi all, I am using windows machine. I would like to know how to set and get text in clipboard. I hope i don't need to use any libraries. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. Since, my antivirus is catching nimble, i am not able to use it. And i send a message to the author of that library that i would like to know how to use it without nimble,. :)

Why don't you whitelist it?

Report it to the antivirus people, Nimble is not a virus :)

You could have a look at the WinAPI clipboard implementation of NiGui: https://github.com/trustable-code/NiGui/blob/master/src/nigui/private/windows/platform_impl.nim#L421
