#Paste Function
This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.
I am writing a program in which I would like to implement a 'Paste'
function. This function would take an ASCII string, in this case it is the
result of a calculation, and send it to another application to appear in
some data field. The program will be a Pop-Up (like PopCLI) where the user
will press a key to activate it. It can also be run as a non-resident
program. I am interested in getting some opinions on what the best method
is to achieve this. It sounds like a task that may be more complicated than
what it's worth… unless someone has some great secret that I've missed 🙂
Someone has suggested using clipboard.device, but I don't see how that will
work. Wouldn't the target program have to KNOW that it has to retrieve
something from the clipboard? Wouldn't that have to be specifically
programmed-in to the target program?? I'd like to hear any ideas you may
have…. Thanx!
