copy and paste

why cant you copy and paste words or phrases off of a c++ program. and is there any way to do it through code?? thank you for any answers
C++ has no understanding of copy or paste. These are functions provided by your operating system and/or programmes running under that operating system.

If you want to insert things into the copy/paste buffer, look up your operating system's API.
It's quite easy in windows, ask and I'll give you some code.
thanx can i please have the code
