Oh now that is the most ridiculously, wonderfully, and embarrassingly
easy thing to do.
Here it is:
on mouseDown -- Put in button "Edit" of menubar group of stack
-- This example assumes text in fields not other clipboard types
if the selectedText is empty then -- nothing selected
disable menuItem 1 of me -- Cut
disable menuItem 2 of me -- Copy
else -- text is selected
enable menuItem 1 of me -- Cut
enable menuItem 2 of me -- Copy
end if
if the clipboard is "text" then -- Is there text in the clipboard?
enable menuItem 3 of me -- Paste
else -- Either no text in clipboard or data type of clipboard is not
text
disable menuItem 3 of me -- Paste
end if
end mouseDown
Thanks Sarah.

Does Rev have an automated way to manage the Edit menu items Cut,
Copy, and Paste?
For example, it only makes sense for Cut or Copy to be enabled if
there is any text that is hilited. Another example, if there isn't
anything in the clipboard then there is nothing to paste. Even if
there is something on the clipboard there would have to be a match
for where it would be pasted. For example, if there is text in the
clipboard there would have to be an insertion point in a text field
for the paste to make sense.
On a stack with lots of fields and cards it seems tedious to try to
manage all of the situations.
I was hoping that this would be a common enough feature of every
program that Rev could manage it for me but I don't see it described
anywhere.
I don't think there is any automated way to do this, but managing it
yourself is not too tedious if you just have a single routine for
doing it that gets called from a mouseDown handler in the menubar
group script.
Cheers,
Sarah
