Bonjour Heather,

Glad to help you :-)
Your handler is perfect.

About inserting or replacing text have a look at selectedField, selectedChunk and selectedText functions in the docs. When you will master that you might think about implementing drag and drop text into your "Edit" field:
Then you will have something more powerful than Note Pad :-)

Hi Eric, thanks for your help, it works perfectly :)

Well, this is what I ended up using (in the stack script)
Can you see if there is any problem writing it like this?
I'm still VERY new to scripting :D:

on commandKeyDown pKey

   if pKey = "v" then

      if the clipboard is "text" then

      put the clipboardData[text] into field "Edit"

      end if

   else pass commandKeyDown

end commandKeyDown


Yes, and er now to work out how to handle the replacing etc. Ack. So many
things to think about isn't there hehe... :D

Bonjour Heather,

Welcome to the list :-)

First you have to check the clipboard contents to accept text only:
if the clipboard is "text" then...
Then use the clipboardData["text"] that is unformatted text:
put the clipboardData["text"] into fld < Edit field>

To handle the paste shortcut:

on commandKeyDown pKey
   if pKey = "v" then...
   else pass commandKeyDown
end commandKeyDown

You can use the pasteKey message also but it will work in a
standalone only.
Last but not least, you'll have to struggle with the selectedChunk to
paste at the right place or replace some selected text.
Good luck :-)

Hi all, this is my first post. Hope it works!

I'm making a very simple Text File Editor, based pretty much
exactly on Window's Notepad, for the sake of learning.

I've been trying to find a way to set the Edit field to non-
formatted text when copying and pasting text from web-pages and
other applications for example.

What would be the best way to ensure that the editing field cannot
be formatted in any way (like Notepad and other basic text editors)?

Is it possible? How (and where) would I script this? Thanks in
advance :)

Cheers,
Heather
