- Clipboard Sample
-
- DESCRIPTION:
- The Clipboard Sample illustrates a
- container with clipboard support.
- A popup menu appears over an object with
- cut, copy, and paste actions.
- Classes used include
- IContainerControl, IContainerObject,
- and IClipboard.
-
- CONCEPT/FEATURE:
- - Create and display a container
- - Clipboard actions for cut, copy, and paste
-
- HOW TO BUILD THE PROJECT FROM THE COMMAND LINE:
- From within the directory containing the sample, simply type:
- NMAKE
-
- HOW TO BUILD THE PROJECT FROM WITHIN THE WORKFRAME ENVIRONMENT:
- Refer to the standard Workframe BUILD instructions
-
- HOW TO RUN THE PROJECT FROM THE COMMAND LINE:
- From within the directory containing the sample, simply type
- the name of the executable:
- CLIPBRD
-
- HOW TO RUN THE PROJECT FROM WITHIN THE WORKFRAME ENVIRONMENT:
- Refer to the standard Workframe RUN instructions
-
- SPECIAL NOTES:
- If the sample fails to execute or
- abnormally ends, you can get
- more information about the failure
- by turning on the ICLUI trace.
- This is done by setting the
- environment variable ICLUI_TRACE
- as follows:
-
- set ICLUI_TRACE=ON
- set ICLUI_TRACETO=STDERR
-
- ICLUI_TRACETO controls where
- the trace information is reported.
- With tracing turned on, ICLUI
- exception text will be written to a
- standard error file. For example:
-
- sample >sample.out 2>&1
-
- The exception data is now in the file
- 'sample.out'.
-
- ADDITIONAL HARDWARE/SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS:
- The paste option will not work within the same application process
- on Windows NT and Windows 3.x.
- This is a known problem and will be addressed in follow-on product
- updates. A short term solution is lock the text data before the
- paste such as:
-
- void* textData = data(aFormat);
- textData = ::GlobalLock(textData);
- IString str((char*)textData);
- ::GlobalUnlock(textData);
-
