You may not have a selection for pasting. You may simply have an offset. Rich Schwerdtfeger CTO Accessibility Software Group

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.

Then any object (container?) would implement this as appropriate for it. Peter On 7/22/2011 10:56 AM, Pete Brunet wrote: 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?
