Thanks to ozak's function mentions:

Local window:TGadget = CreateWindow( "Copy & Paste Test", 10,30, 400,200, Null,..
                                     WINDOW_TITLEBAR | WINDOW_CLIENTCOORDS )
Local txt1:TGadget = CreateTextArea( 0,0, 200,200, window, TEXTAREA_WORDWRAP )
Local txt2:TGadget = CreateTextArea( 200,0, 200,200, window, TEXTAREA_WORDWRAP )

SetTextAreaText txt1, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.~n~n"
AddTextAreaText txt1, "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."

SelectTextAreaText txt1

I was wondering how to copy and paste text to the clipboard without creating any gadget. I'm creating a graphical GUI and I want the drawed TextBox to manipulate the clipboard.

Any idea how to do that?

As a last resort you could convert this:

although I believe it can be done without a DLL.
