JoelS Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 It used to be possible to call DoMenuTextByName('Copy', 0); with text selected in a StaticText field under VW11.5 but it seems that with 12.5 the Copy menu item is always grey when any PIO field is selected. Why has this changed and is there a work around to get data onto the system clipboard? Joel. Quote Link to comment
Petri Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I'm sure you have a reason for this, but I'd be curious to know what it is. "Us programmers" (yeah, right!) avoid changing the user's clipboard like a plague. Quote Link to comment

Agreed, this is a good rule, however this is a rare instance of it being a convenience for the user to have some aggregated information generated by the PIO placed on their clipboard (at their choice) for immediate reuse elsewhere. As this is something they are used to and appreciate, I would like to preserve the functionality. Saving the same data as a file is just a nuisance. Joel. Quote Link to comment
