SET TEXT TO CLIPBOARD (text)
Parameter | Type | Description | |
text | String | Text whose copy is to be put into the Clipboard |
Description
SET TEXT TO CLIPBOARD clears the clipboard and then puts a copy of the text you passed in text into the Clipboard.
After you have put some text into the Clipboard, you can retrieve it using the Get text from clipboard command or by calling GET CLIPBOARD ("TEXT";...).
If the text is correctly put in the Clipboard, the OK variable is set to 1. If there is not enough memory to put a copy of the text into the Clipboard, the OK variable is set to 0, but no error is generated.
4th Dimension text expressions can contain up to 32,000 characters. To copy larger text values, accumulate the text into a BLOB, call CLEAR CLIPBOARD, then call APPEND TO CLIPBOARD ("TEXT";...).
Example
See the example for the APPEND TO CLIPBOARD command.
