Hi,
I solved my problem using the XTransferableSupplier interface at the
document
controller. But I was lucky, because I've to copy/paste text or table blocks
loading
document in hidden mode.
If I launched my java application that loads a document with
some text and table blocks to copy/ paste (using only the
XTransferableSupplier interface at the controller) and my application shows
the writer gui using OOoBeanViewer (no hidden mode), it happens something
strange:
if I open another document, using the writer while my java application is
running the copy / paste task, I can use clipboard to access what
my java application is coping (I succeded in pasting it).
This is an unexpected behaviour and it only happens if I open a writer
document,
I'm not able to cause the same from an external application (i.e.
notepad).
If I load the document in hidden mode, no content is
loaded into clipboard and I've no errors, even editing another writer
document. Is it possible?
Thanks
Filippo Machi

Hi,
I'm Filippo Machi. I've to copy portions of formatted text and/or table
rows in writer document, using java. These portions are defined using
user text fields. I succeded in that selecting portions and dispatching
copy / paste commands.
However, since my program performs a lot of these copies, if the user
changes the content of the clipboard when my program is running, he makes
copy/paste activity go wrong.
Now I'm wondering wheter...
1) is there another way to copy/paste text and rows keeping formatting?
(Autotext works with text but when I try to use it with table rows I copy
table structure too)
2) can I use another clipboard? A local clipboard in order to prevent
user activity to change chipboard content?
Thanks a lot
Kind regards

This is what the interface
com.sun.star.datatransfer.XTransferableSupplier is for.
It is implemented at the Controller object of a document view. You can
retrieve the current selection from a view and paste it somewhere else
and it will work exactly as if you had used the clipboard functions. You
can see it as a kind of "local clipboard".
This interface is implemented in Writer since several versions and in
Calc since 2.3 (IIRC). Draw/Impress is still missing.
Ciao,
Mathias
