LC friends, I have an app with basic word processing and I'm looking for the best way to detect the source of what's on the clipboard. I'm trying to apply two rules: 1) Text formatted within LC can be copy/pasted with styled text using clipboardData["styledText"] 2) Text formatted from outside of LC is pasted as plain text using clipboardData["text"] (so LC field formatting is automatically applied to it.)
The reason for rule 2 is to filter out formatting by Word or other sources that tends to cause issues. My kludgy method is to identify any text copied within LC by doing a comparison. When there's a copy/cut cmd in LC, it stores a copy of that Styledtext in a global variable. When a paste cmd is given, the clipboardData["StyledText"] is compared to that variable. If it matches, rule 1 applies, otherwise, rule 2. I have this nagging feeling that there's a more direct way that I've overlooked. Anybody know of one?
