CNTRL C and V with a StringGadget

[RichardL]

I have several StringGadgets in a dialog and I would like the user to be able to highlight all or part of a string then CNTRL C to copy it and CNTRL V to paste it.

I find that Copy does not work... is there a flag that can be set to make it do so?

Thanks in advance...

Um, no problem here. I routinely copy and paste with String Gadgets.

Same here (=it works), except Ctrl-A doesn't highlight all.

OK, I've found out what does it...

Code: Select all

Version$="Test only..."

If OpenWindow(0,10,10,300,200,#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget,Version$)
  If CreateGadgetList(WindowID())
    Frame3DGadget(1,5,5,290,100,"Test")
    StringGadget (2,10,30,280,25,"Number 1",#PB_String_UpperCase)
    StringGadget (3,10,70,280,25,"Number 2",#PB_String_UpperCase)
  EndIf
  
  hMenu.l = CreateMenu(0, WindowID())
  If hMenu.l
    MenuTitle("File")
    MenuBar()
    MenuItem(19,"Beeps")
  EndIf
  
  ; Main display HOT KEYS
  AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Control | #PB_Shortcut_P    ,500)
  AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Control | #PB_Shortcut_C    ,501)
  AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Control | #PB_Shortcut_S    ,502)
  AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Control | #PB_Shortcut_Home ,503)
 
EndIf

Quit =0
Repeat
  EventID.l = WaitWindowEvent()
  If EventID = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
    Quit = 1
  EndIf
Until Quit = 1

If you disable the hot key shortcuts then it all works OK... with the shortcuts added the copy function fails and paste puts in stuff from earlier operations.

However, if hot key CNTRL C is disabled all is well... I guess thats reasonable!

Yes, you will have to handle the shortcut yourself if you redefine it (GetGadgetText() + SetClipboardText()).
