You can use SetText method from Clipboard Class. The text will be copied into the mobile clipboard. Since GetText method will cause an exception, you can instruct the user, to hold the edit area until the paste option will appear, then the user can paste it from that option.

if the control is a clipboard then

You cannot get clipboard text from a Windows Phone application, only set it. Calling the GetText method in a Windows Phone application will always cause a SecurityException to occur.

You can only set text to clipboard in windows phone and can not read it.
