Yeah, that does it. Thanks Karen.
But the pasting is done by a separate button that has the
PasteFromClipBoard property. So to get it to work, I click the Paste
button (which pastes the text into the variable memo control), then
click the variable memo control and then tab off it. The variable
vPasteText is then updated.
After the PASTE property, I'll try programmatically setting focus on the
Variable Memo and then off of it.
Seems like extra horsing around - I tried RECALC VARIABLES but that
didn't work. Is there an equivalent PROPERTY command?
Hmm, maybe I'll put the PASTE property in a double-click EEP on the
Variable Memo control itself and then programmatically advance to the
next field.

Doug: have you "moved off" the variable memo field? This has tripped
me up before. Until you move off the field you haven't "saved" the
value into the variable. You might have to have the eep advance to
the next field after the paste?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: PROPERTY PASTEFROMCLIPBOARD
Thank you Razzak.
I'm able to run the PasteTextFromClipBoard external form and text gets
pasted into the Variable Memo control (variable = vPasteText) when I
click the Paste button.
But when I sho var, the variable vPasteText is null.
Shouldn't it contain the pasted text?
If I do a Ctrl-V and manually paste text into the Variable Memo
control, the text gets pasted and the variable vPasteText contains the
pasted text.
That's what I'm trying to accomplish.
Am I misunderstanding the PasteFromClipBoard property?
Thanks much for your help.

I give up, how does it work?
I've got a Variable Memo control for the variable vPasteText,
component ID
cidPasteText. On a DoubleClick EEP for the Variable Memo, I have:
PROPERTY cidPasteText PASTEFROMCLIPBOARD TRUE
As I TRACE, the text gets pasted into the Variable Memo control, but
the
variable vPasteText remains null.
RECALC VARIABLES doesn't work and I've tried TRUE and 'TRUE'.
Attributes Word Wrap, How Hint and Tab Stop are the only ones checked.
None of the Cut, Copy and Paste Settings are checked to prevent the
respective action.
Here's a sample that illustrates the use of such property ...

This is an External Form File and you should be able to run from any
R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 session regardless of the connected database.
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
