Clipboard Questions and Answers
============================================================
.
Problem: Copying, cutting or pasting using the clipboard is
slow with Windows Applications. This is
particulary noticable in MS Excel and other
Windows applications.
.
Answer: Most applications that copy information to the
clipboard copy data in multiple formats. In the
case of Excel, 16 different formats. When the
Windows clipboard is public, the computer must do
additional conversion of data to the OS2 clipboard
The solution to this is that if the customer can
make the Windows clipboard private, the speed of
cutting and pasting will be similar to that of
DOS/Windows. The only problem with this is that
anything copied from the Windows session cannot be
pasted to OS2 unless clipboard data is exported and
when trying to paste data copied from an OS2
session, another WINOS2 session or a DOS Session,
data must be imported. The only way to make a
WINOS2 seamless session private is to make a
permanent change removing 3 ";clipbrd" statements
from the WINOS2 SYSTEM.INI file.
The performance issue is being addressed. This
will be made available at a undetermined future
date.
Problem: Graphics copied to clipboard from OS2 cannot be
copied to a Windows application or graphics copied
to the WINOS2 clipboard from a Windows application
cannot be copied to an OS2 application.
.
Answer: This is normally a lack in about 50% of Windows
applications. Older Windows applications only
support DDBs (Device Dependent Bitmaps), while OS2
always creates or uses DIBs (Device Independent
Bitmaps). Since the format of DDBs and DIBs are
different, Windows applications that only support
DDBs can have problems in copying data to and from
the public clipboard. Because some Windows
applications may handle other formats than DDBs,
all Windows applications that do not handle DIBs
may not exhibit this problem.
.
Problem: DDE or OLE does not work correctly for Windows
applications under WINOS2.
.
Answer: Some Windows applications use special Windows 3.1
DLL (Dynamic link library) for DDE and OLE. These
DLLs are backward compatible to Windows 3.0 and
WINOS2. Make sure that DDEML.DLL, OLECLI.DLL, and
OLESRV.DLL are in the OS2 MDOS WINOS2 directory or
in the path. If you installed OS/2-2.0 on top of
DOS/Windows, these files may be in the old
directory. Otherwise, they normally can be copied
from the installation disks of the Windows
application that experienced the problem.
For applications where DDE worked for DOS/WINDOWS,
they should also work correctly under WINOS2. Some
Windows applications did not support DDE very well,
therefore if you are experiencing DDE problems with
a specific application, call the application
company regarding DDE Support.
.
Problem: OLE does not work between OS2 applications and
WINOS2.
.
Answer: OLE is not supported under Presentation Manager.
Therefore, OLE will not work outside WINOS2.
.
Problem: OS2 Clipboard does not recognize data that may be
in private formats.
.
Answer: Even though the clipboard does not display or show
data being available in the OS2 clipboard, it may
be available to applications that support that
private format.
LOCAL FIX:
