If it's a .zip file, you could look into wxZipInputStream for reading the data, then just copy it to the clipboard as needed.

But how can I copy a file without extracting this ?
I know the class wxFileDataObject but I don't think it's the best class for my situation !

Can you help me ?

Never done anything like this personally, but get a data stream of it's contents and store it, then move it over to the system clipboard, I would imagine.
