Re: What to set the clipboardData to for exchanging styled text with a 3rd party app
Couldn’t you choose door number 2? Using just the clipBoardData without a parameter is something I never do anymore.

Re: What to set the clipboardData to for exchanging styled text with a 3rd party app
Hi. I always use the “htmlText”. Of course this encodes the original text with HTML tags, so you cannot just: set the clipBoardData to the htmlText of fld 1 set the text of fld 2 to the clipBoardData you have to: set the htmltext of fld 2 to the clipBoardData Craig > On Nov 13, 2023, at 12:18 PM, Paul Dupuis via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hivemind, > > Recommendation as to what is best to set the clipboardData property to, when > you want to copy styled text from a field to the clipboard for exchange with > a 3rd party (any 3rd party) application that supports some form of styled > text, that can include text in multiple languages (i.e. Unicode)? > > Examples: > 1) set the clipboardData["rtf"] to the rtfText of fld "X" > 2) set the clipboardData["html"] to the htmlText of fld "X" > 3) set the clipboardData["text"] to the text of fld "X" -- since the text in > field since LC7 is unicode > 4) set the clipboardData["unicode"] to the textEncode(fld "X","UTF-16") > > Something else?

What to set the clipboardData to for exchanging styled text with a 3rd party app
Hivemind, Recommendation as to what is best to set the clipboardData property to, when you want to copy styled text from a field to the clipboard for exchange with a 3rd party (any 3rd party) application that supports some form of styled text, that can include text in multiple languages (i.e. Unicode)? Examples: 1) set the clipboardData["rtf"] to the rtfText of fld "X" 2) set the clipboardData["html"] to the htmlText of fld "X" 3) set the clipboardData["text"] to the text of fld "X" -- since the text in field since LC7 is unicode 4) set the clipboardData["unicode"] to the textEncode(fld "X","UTF-16") Something else? Should fullClipboardData or rawClipboardData be used instead? Looking for best practice recommendation. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Oddity in 'currentCard' function?
I never create an object without immediately giving it a name. Problem solved. :-) Bob S On Oct 24, 2023, at 9:34 PM, Mark Waddingham via use-livecode wrote: On 2023-10-24 18:00, Paul Dupuis via use-livecode wrote: I think I found a oddity in the "currentCard" property. The documentation states that the currentCard property return the short name of the current card of a stack: for example: put the currentCard of stack "Untitled 1" into tCardName You can then execute code such as: set the myProperty of cd tCardName of stack "Untitled 1" to tValue ... But again, breaking that example above (set the myProperty of the currentCard of stack "Untitled 1" to tValue) into 2 lines: put the currentCard of stack "Untitled 1" into tCardName set the myProperty of cd tCardName of stack "Untitled 1" to tValue FAILS if the card has no name. Something just seems off here? As Jacque said, if an object has an empty name then the short name returns ` id ` (i.e. an id chunk) - this is long standing behavior and one which I'm not sure is entirely helpful (it should perhaps just return empty!). ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
