In my experience, you cannot copy controls from one instance of the IDE to another (at least not on Win2K) My guess is that the engine keeps its own internal clipboard for copy+paste of controls. When you copy a control in Rev 2.6, and use the message box to execute the following: answer the clipboard then you'll see 'objects'. Switch over to Rev 2.7, and execute the same command. You'll get 'empty'. Personally, I wish we could have more control over the clipboard, and would be allowed to set our own clipboardData[] types. The same for dragData[] - it would make a drawing app a lot easier to implement. Richard Gasking and I exchanged some ideas on this over at RevConWest, and the best workaround that came up, was to serialize our data in XML format, and just transfer it as text. Ah well, probably more than you ever wanted to know about this topic ;-) Jan Schenkel.
