How to programmatically copy/paste in windows phone 8?

Question

Is there a way to programmatically copy/paste text in windows phone 8. I want to copy the contents from the clipboard when user clicks a button.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

if the control is a clipboard then

You cannot get clipboard text from a Windows Phone application, only set it. Calling the GetText method in a Windows Phone application will always cause a SecurityException to occur.

You can only set text to clipboard in windows phone and can not read it.
