You probably need to use the clipboard functions defined in user32.dll:

OpenClipboard, SetClipboardData, CloseClipboard, EmptyClipboard:

BOOL OpenClipboard(  HWND hWndNewOwner   // handle to window opening
clipboard);
BOOL CloseClipboard(VOID)
HANDLE SetClipboardData(  UINT uFormat, // clipboard format
  HANDLE hMem   // data handle);
BOOL EmptyClipboard(VOID)

Alternatively, you could create a hidden edit control, set the text to whatever
is selected in the combo, and use the win32lib copy() routine on the edit
control.
