Using 7.5 for windows
I am trying to take text from a screen in another application and paste it
into a form in Rbase to capture in a variable and then save as a file.
Since I am 7.5 the property command doesn't seem have been implemented, so I
used the cval(clipboardtext), but I am getting part of the text truncated
when I go to paste it into the form.
What I am using now is a form with a variable rich edit field and a button
that just does SET VAR vrtf =(CVAL('CLIPBOARDTEXT')). The form field is set
to the same variable.
When I click the button it sets the variable, but I am missing text at the
bottom.
The variable is defined as set var vrtf long varchar = '' so it
should have more than enough length to hold the document.
When I do a manual paste into a text editor the entire document does appear,
so I do know its on the clipboard.
The end goal is to capture chunks of text from other apps, and then store it
as a file using Rbase to find it again. The prime app I was trying to get
the data from does not support an easy export, but will allow a cut and
paste from the screen.
