To all: Please let me know your preference for actions vs another
interface.
Assuming I understand Peter the alternative is to deprecate the 3
existing clipboard methods in IAccessibleEditableText and then
provide IAccessibleClipboard deriving from IAccessibleEditableText
and providing 3 new methods: cut, copy, paste. All methods would
use the selection, not offset parameters. paste would have a type
enum parameter with values for default, formatted, and unformatted.

Pete,
Thinking back about these discussions, I wonder if a better way to
approach this is a new sub-interface: AccessibleClipboard. Then
any object (container?) would implement this as appropriate for
it.

I believe these are the issues related to clipboard operations
1) Copy should have been in IAText instead since copy doesn't
require that an object be editable
2) The current selection should be used instead of offset
parameters.
3) Other formats besides text can be copied to and pasted from
the clipboard.
I think the following proposal is in line with the prior
discussion regarding a solution.
- Deprecate the 3 clipboard operations from IAEditableText.
(They are currently not in use.)
- Provide 5 new preset action constants for copy, cut,
pasteDefault, pasteFormatted, and pasteUnformatted.
- pasteDefault: The result would be the same as Ctrl+V
- pasteFormatted: The app has the choice of presenting a list
of choices via a GUI or choosing the format without user
interaction.
- pasteUnformatted: The app would paste raw text. This could
result in nothing being pasted, e.g. for an image, and
IAAction::doAction would return S_FALSE.
- The new clipboard actions would use the current selection(s).
Is that acceptable?
Pete
