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


Thanks, I must have missed these somehow.

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

I should have asked the question differently! What I meant to say was, in a menu handler, how can I tell which field is the current field, and how can I enable/disable Edit Menu Items based on whether a field is selected or not? Do I need to put an openField/closeField handler on each text field and then enable/disable there?

All the Best
Dave
