Hello all,
I have hit the wall. v14.6, Mac and Windows. I created a Style Text
variable, populate it and can display the same with formatting integrity
intact upon a page change. In between the page change I decided to take
the variable and try and place it on the Clipboard/Pasteboard using the
snippets below. The number is the WIndows number for RTF. I have tried
the variant with 4D signatures. When the text gets to the Pasteboard, it
shows the tags. When I copy the styled text display area using the menu,
the pasteboard has the styled text. Using GET PASTEBOARD DATA TYPE
returns 5 array elements, 4 really as one is blank.
C_BLOB($textBlob)
CLEAR PASTEBOARD
//APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("com.4d.private.text.native";$textBlob;*)
//APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("com.4d.private.text.utf16";$textBlob;*)
//APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("com.4d.private.text.html";$textBlob;*)
TEXT TO BLOB($ptrText->;$textBlob;UTF8 text without length)
APPEND DATA TO PASTEBOARD("49336";$textBlob)
SET BLOB SIZE($textBlob;0)
I guess it come down to telling Windows or the Mac what type of data I
am placing there.It seems that there is where I am having the problem of
architecting the correct data for the pasteboard. There are no graphics
in the text, just bold facing and underlining. I want to put the
formatted text on the pasteboard, so the user can immediately paste into
Word or Outlook. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Bill Swann
