Hi,

There was a post about this, way back in 2005, on a German forum, but it involved an api workaround.

I'll jump to the Win api if need be, but was wondering if PB has been given native support, specifically for highlighting and COPYING, from an EditorGadget, to elsewhere. Or is there a more direct way, than the 2005 suggestion

(
Procedure Editor_GetSelLength (gadget)
sel.CHARRANGE
SendMessage_ (GadgetID (gadget), $ 0434.0, @ sel)
ProcedureReturn sel \ cpMax - sel \ cpMin
EndProcedure
Procedure.s Editor_GetSelText (gadget)
Text.s = Space (Editor_GetSelLength (Gadget) + 1 )
SendMessage_ (GadgetID (gadget), $ 043E, 0, @ Text.s)
ProcedureReturn Text.s
EndProcedure SetClipboardText (Editor_GetSelText (gadget))
)
?

Falsam, thanks. But I think I just wasted your time. I just installed the newest beta 5.2, and it allows one to copy and paste from the editorgadget. Maybe that was there before in 5.11, but I think it wasn't.

Anyway, everything's great now, thanks for the input.
