Can you be more specific? What is it that you are trying to copy? The characters, the Text Object, the event that set's the text content..?

I want to copy the text to clipboard of a "Text" or "TextBox" object.

You mean at real time or on the editor??? As far as I know, clipboard is a OS function and applies to all programs, you can copy a text body from (e.g.) word, an internet browser, photoshop or whatever to any other software, including construct.

If you mean that you want to get the contents of a Text or TextBox object at run time, then use the "get the object's text" action.

See this example:

You can set the clipboard with the nodewebkit object if you export or preview with nodewebkit. There isn't a way to set the clipboard otherwise. You could look through the platform specific plugins and see if any others have clipboard actions but I imagine not. The clipboard is mainly a win/linux/mac thing.
