Hi Mick As I mentioned earlier, my program uses a richededit and barcode fonts. There is a button that creates the relevant barcode data and a checkbox that allows copy to clipboard. It is the user's choice whether to copy this data or not. The idea being that user can then paste the generated barcode data directly into other programs such as Word or Wordpad etc.
>I'd get pretty irked if an application removed data from my clipboard :) Not if you need formatted barcode data on the clipboard. :) The alternative was to create a bitmap, save and retrieve this bitmap into the RE2, which semmed a little messy to me!! regards Neil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mick Arundell" <m...@macomputer.biz> To: <delphi@elists.org> Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 21:56:16 +0930 Subject: Re: RichEdit - copying formatted text from/to > > > Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 07:42:02 +0100 > > From: n...@nrbs.com > > Subject: Re: RichEdit - copying formatted text from/to > > To: "Borland's Delphi Discussion List" <delphi@elists.org> > > Message-ID: <20090528.064202.25...@nrb-xp-pro> > > > > Hi Stan > > > > I just use the richedit copy and paste functions. > > > > use RE1 sellength to select required text on RE1 > > then use copytoclipboard. > > > > Now paste clipboard data into RE2 > > > > I use this for generating barcode data using fonts drawn > > into rich edit.
