Hi Michael!
Most apps I've seen do not support copying from a listbox (that
includes most of my own :), even on OS X. But I'd agree that I'd
expect this feature from an app with a somewhat polished UI - depends
on the kind of data displayed, of course. And sometimes a listbox may
contain data that is not easily copied into the clipboard (like
images/icons).
I've never seen an app that allows pasting into a listbox - too hard
to control the data that you get.
I'm not using Windows too much, but I'd say it's about the same there.
Bottom line: If the data might be useful for other apps (like Excel),
adding Copy functionality might be a good idea. But I wouldn't bother
with Paste functionality unless you have a very good reason to do so.
BTW, if you implement Copy/Paste, you should think about Drag/Drop
too :)
Cheers,
Frank+++

appreciate the normal expected functionality for a user of a listbox.
Is this true...
Copy=yes
Paste/cut = no
Is it the same on Windows/Apple?
This should go some way to figuring out why my Lisbox is acting in
ways I cannot explain.
thanks
