Can i Copy a string in my clipboard in BP?

[ProVentus]

Hi! Was simply wondering if there was any way to copy something in clipboard without having to create a c++ function?

in C++

The ability to copy given text to clipboard?

In C++ you have those functions to read and write system clipboard Note that you need to use FPlatfromMisc not FGenericPlatfromMisc, if you see FGenericPlatfrom* class in API reference remove “Generic” because those are Generic rollback implementation of functions all that get referenced to FPlatfrom* I dont see any blueprint implementations of this, you will need to make your own nodes if you want to which is not that hard actully.

yeah this is still C++ only in the engine, the clipboard functions live on FPlatformApplicationMisc so blueprint cant see them without a wrapper.

easiest path if you dont want to touch C++ is a tiny function library or a ready made wrapper. Runtime Clipboard Utility, a Blueprint clipboard plugin for Unreal Engine 5, just exposes it as Copy Text to Clipboard / Paste Text from Clipboard nodes, works in 5.0-5.8 including packaged builds: Runtime Clipboard Utility — Free Copy & Paste Text Nodes for Blueprints (UE5) | Fab

for a single copy button you would call the copy node with your string on clicked, thats the whole graph.
