Greetings to all who have been following this saga, I have had success in finally copying text from my unicon application to other editing application under linux. However, it is only through reading the xlib documents that I was able to finally find a process.
The traditional method of copy to PRIMARY and middle click (left-right click) works between UI and gedit and the reverse. The ctrl-X, ctrl-C and ctrl-V using CLIPBOARD results are what I have previously given. I found the relevant code in rxwin.ri. At this point, I have a workaround for the linux side which is what I was missing. Thankfully, the author of the books that are being edited doesn't have to deal with these vagaries at the moment. I hope this helps anyone else having to play with this sort of application. A question to anyone. The system() function allows one to open other applications with pipes as standard input and standard output. My question is this, was this originally intended for CLI programs only and not graphical programs? I believe the answer is yes, but if anyone knowledgeable in the history could confirm that I would be appreciative. At any rate, my appreciation and thanks to all who have helped out. It would have been more difficult without the pointers given. regards Bruce Rennie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Unicon-group mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unicon-group
