Bug ID: 170439
Summary: Implement VBA Application.CutCopyMode property support
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.8.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
While investigating the regression (tdf#169110) where VBA macros failed
with Basic runtime error '423' Property or method not found: CutCopyMode,
I confirmed that this property is currently a stub in the LibreOffice
VBA compatibility layer.
Existing code in sc/source/ui/vba/vbaapplication.cxx
uno::Any SAL_CALL
ScVbaApplication::getCutCopyMode()
{
//# FIXME TODO, implementation
uno::Any result;
result <<= false;
return result;
}
void SAL_CALL
ScVbaApplication::setCutCopyMode( const uno::Any& /* _cutcopymode */ )
{
//# FIXME TODO, implementation
}
Existing code in ScVbaApplication::getCutCopyMode and setCutCopyMode
contains // FIXME TODO comments and simply returns False or does nothing.
This causes compatibility issues with Excel macros that
rely on this property to check clipboard state or clear the
selection marquee.
The plan for this enhancement is to implement the properties
to align with MS Excel behavior.
Additional Info:
VBA reference
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/excel.application.cutcopymode
Actual Results:
When accessing Application.CutCopyMode in a VBA macro,
it currently always returns False (0), even if cells
have been copied or cut.
Expected Results:
Application.CutCopyMode should return xlCopy (1) or xlCut (2)
if there is active data on the clipboard.
Setting Application.CutCopyMode = False should clear the
clipboard and remove the selection frame, consistent with
Excel behavior.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
