Re: JavaScript possibilities
Yeah tis IE only.
Flash can/could do it... I think it's been removed in later versions of
browsers? I dunno - I just know it doesn't work very well cept in IE :)

RE: JavaScript possibilities
Jordan, searches for “JavaScript Clipboard” produce a lot of results that use
code like the following:
function toClipboard(message) {
holdtext.innerText = message;
var copied = holdtext.createTextRange();
copied.execCommand("Copy");
}
In my IE8 dev machine this ugly code actually works, but I seriously doubt it
will be browser neutral. Anyway, it will be suitable for the upcoming demo. One
of the C++ guys reckons he’s crash hot with JavaScript, so I’ll tell him this
works and I’ll leave it to him to do magic with the script and the XML I’ve
placed on the Clipboard.
I’ll let you know if I find anything more generally useful on the subject.

Re: JavaScript possibilities
Hey, I believe that you van only do clipboard stuff in i.e. (it has clipboard stuff On the global object from memory) Sl4 full trust will be fine at any time (It should also be able to do office automation etc too) Cheers, Jordan On 21/06/2010, at 9:07 AM, "Greg Keogh" wrote: > Folks, my Silverlight 3 app is a lightweight version of a gigantic > windows app written in C++, and the authors of that app want my SL3 > app to simulate the “export” facility of its big brother, which > sends data to the Clipboard, to a new browser window or to Office ap > ps via automation. > > > > I explained to them SL3 is mostly deaf, dumb and blind on the client > machine, and as far as I know the only way it can talk to the client > is by invoking JavaScript methods.

JavaScript possibilities
Folks, my Silverlight 3 app is a lightweight version of a gigantic windows app written in C++, and the authors of that app want my SL3 app to simulate the "export" facility of its big brother, which sends data to the Clipboard, to a new browser window or to Office apps via automation. I explained to them SL3 is mostly deaf, dumb and blind on the client machine, and as far as I know the only way it can talk to the client is by invoking JavaScript methods. I see that SL4 can work with the Clipboard, but it will be several weeks or more before I migrate up to VS2010, Framework 4 and SL4. I'm already calling JavaScript methods in the browser for trivial purposes, so I can pass huge strings of XML into JavaScript methods as well. I'm not up-to-date with JavaScript and I was wondering if it has any power act as a kind of trusted intermediary to allow the SL3 app to send XML to the Clipboard, browsers or automated Office apps. Has anyone done this sort of thing? In the meantime I'll keep web searching for articles on this matter.
