The fullClipboardData gives you access both to the engine's synthesized data formats and the original data that was placed on the clipboard. In this context: - rtfText: LiveCode's rtfText format - htmlText: LiveCode's htmlText format - styledText: LiveCode's (array-based) styledText format - html: Only present if the data on the clipboard is actually HTML - rtf: Only present if the data on the clipboard is actually RTF This is explained in more detail in the fullClipboardData entry. I'd generally recommend not using 'the clipboardData' for new apps, and using 'the fullClipboardData' instead. It allows you to put multiple distinct data types on the clipboard, and does not use any 'legacy' rules to determine what keys appear ('the clipboardData' only allows a single actual datatype, so uses priority rules to determine which you see). _______________________________________________ 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
