On my machines there's a beep, but the text is on the +clipboard -- in the format I showed above. It's not just a figment +of my imagination: + +"Copy (Ctrl-C) works in Message Boxes" +http://blogs.msdn.com/cumgranosalis/archive/2005/12/14/CopyMessageBox +.aspx , "Ctrl-C to capture MessageBox and dialogs" +http://blogs.msdn.com/calvin_hsia/archive/2005/10/16/481713.aspx , "W +indows Tip: Copy error messages text to the clipboard - Lifehacker" +http://lifehacker.com/software/windows-tip/copy-error-messages-text- +to-the-clipboard-268547.php , +http://blogs.technet.com/fsmo/archive/2004/06/17/158889.aspx , +and the great Dino even mentions it at +http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/11/CuttingEdge/default.as +px , etc. It appears to be a feature of the Win32 MessageBox, .NET +uses it and thus inherits the behaviour. + + +Or are you saying, that on the Mono runtime it doesn't work on +Windows (nor anywhere else). Then I agree. It would be great if it +did though. Just add handling for Ctrl+C, grab the text and put it +on the clipboard for all platforms. + +Here's a bargain, if I find bugs in Mono where the error is in a +MessageBox dialog, and I can copy the message text with one Ctrl+C +then I will log it in the bug, however if I have to manually retype +the error message I won't bother. ;-)
