23 "wx.Clipboard represents the system clipboard and provides methods to
24 copy data to it or paste data from it. Normally, you should only use
25 ``wx.TheClipboard`` which is a reference to a global wx.Clipboard
28 Call ``wx.TheClipboard``'s `Open` method to get ownership of the
29 clipboard. If this operation returns True, you now own the
30 clipboard. Call `SetData` to put data on the clipboard, or `GetData`
31 to retrieve data from the clipboard. Call `Close` to close the
32 clipboard and relinquish ownership. You should keep the clipboard open
