Clipboard not found in UWP

I'm currently working on a project consisting of one program which tracks faces (which we got from https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/BasicFaceTracking), which is a Windows Universal App and our program, which is supposed to get the number of faces recognized and reacting appropriately.

I thought about copying the number of faces detected by the facetracking program to the clipboard and just reading it from the program. The problem I have (which might actually be really simple) is that I can't seem to get to the Clipboard Class from within the UWP app. Using OpenClipboard(NULL) or similar but I always get the error that the IDentifier is not found, no mater which header I include or not...

Can anyone give me a clue what to do? Or maybe a better alternative to transfer that one tiny int from one program to the other?

Thanks in advance.

For UWP applications you should use Clipboard class.

OpenClipboard is an old Win32 API that is only available to desktop applications as mentioned at corresponding MSDN page:

Minimum supported client Windows 2000 Professional [desktop apps only]
