Hi,
I've noticed that the copy/cut/paste commands work automatically when
you use the Command-Key short cuts, e.g. if you have an Text Field and
you select the text within it, you can copy or paste into that field.
This seems to work in the IDE and in the Standalone. My first question
is how/where is this action handled? Can I stop this action happening on
certain fields?
In the docs, check out
* copyKey message
* cutKey message
* pasteKey message
Example:
on cutKey
cut
end cutKey
Also see the following in the docs:
* cut
* copy
* paste
I imagine if you place these message handlers in the field's code and
put nothing in the handlers that the events won't take place.
My second question is, how do you handle these commands when selected
> from the Edit Menu?
use the the following (using either IF statements or CASE statements)
handler in the code for the menu object:
on menuPick varSelected
if varSelected is "Cut" then
focus field "editfieldnamehere"
cut
else if varSelected is "Copy" then
focus field "editfieldnamehere"
copy
else if varSelected is "Paste" then
focus field "editfieldnamehere"
paste
end if
end menuPick

* disableMenu command
I'm still a bit of newbie to Rev, so the above may not be totally
correct. If not, I'm sure someone will drop in and correct my errors so
that you don't repeat my errors in your code. :-)
