Cut, Copy and Paste from Editorgadget

[PB&J Lover]

Hello All,

I need to cut copy and paste in my editor gadget by using the standard toolbar icons buttons. I know it involves sending messages to the editorgadget, but can anyone tell me how?

Any help is very much appreciated. Viva la PB!

You mean to affect the current selection when cutting and pasting?

*UNTESTED CODE FOLLOWS*

Paste:

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(hWnd, #EM_REPLACESEL, 1, ptrToString)

Copy:

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(hWnd, #EM_GETSELTEXT, 0, ptrToBuffer)
SetClipboardTextSomehowIDontKnowHow(ptrToBuffer)

Cut: First copy, then paste an empty string.

Not testet:

SendMessage_(GadgetID(Gadget),#WM_COPY,#Null,#Null)
SendMessage_(GadgetID(Gadget),#WM_CUT,#Null,#Null)
SendMessage_(GadgetID(Gadget),#WM_PASTE,#Null,#Null)

I hope its usefull

Is it save to use the to delete?

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Gadget_Main_report), #EM_REPLACESEL, #True, #Null)

It points to #null for the string. It seems to work, but something tells me it wouldn't if there was a string there.

How do I set the string into memory for the paste?

for delete:

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Gadget_Main_report), #WM_CLEAR, #Null, #Null)
