Copy and Paste on Device B4PP editor

[Woinowski]

Hi,

the Basic4PPC libraries can handle context menus. So it would be a nice idea to add one for the standard clipboard functions to the device code editor.

I am interested in this feature. I am searcing right now for clipboard/paste/cut/clip tutorials right now. I can't figure out, as of yet, how to do it.

Wrong place to do it on, post in the question thread....
If i'm not mistaken it is done using one of the dll found in the un-official libs

Edit:
Found it with a very simple search of the key word "Clipboard"...
See the help file for the Hardware.Dll, wich is a part of the standart install...

PS. I've just realise that this thread was about the ability to copy text from the chm files to the editor...
You can't?
I just use the "normal" crtl+C & crtl+V and it works fine...

I recently purchased Basic4ppc and found this thread that listed the feature I would like to see in the future.

Since the pocket PC is capable of multi-tasking, I use ListPro to organize many code snippits. I can quickly switch back and forth between the two, however I am not allowed to copy or paste text in the Basic4ppc Pocket PC editor.

Has anyone tried PocketCm Keyboard?
It has a copy/paste/cut feature (by holding the enter key)
works for me

As Cableguy pointed out above the standard device keyboard supports Ctl-C, Ctl-X and Ctl-V, you don't need a special keyboard, although I use Resco Keyboard 'cos it looks nicer.

PCM .14 also allows you to program each key to place a lowercase, uppercase or a keyword like Msgbox() etc. I have it programed for Basic4ppc key words

Apparently, I need to clarify my post above. I am not able to copy text from the Basic4ppc editor window and paste the copied text to another application and vice-versa.

Most applications use the "Windows" copy/paste buffer, while Basic4ppc uses a proprietary copy/paste buffer. I would like to see Basic4ppc also use the standard copy/paste buffer.

Thanks for everyone's help though. The comments have led me to some useful looking software! Since I am still running WM2003SE, not WM5, I can not use "PocketCM Keyboard". I have upgraded my HP 4700 to WM5, but I did not like losing the row of icons in the toolbar. The very useful toolbar was replaced by the Smartphone only, non-touchscreen, two-button bar. For this reason only, I downgraded back to WM2003SE.

Hi,

apparently there's been a long chain of misunderstandings. My idea was about a feature for the device editor of B4PPC. It was not about keyboard shortcuts and the likes on the PC.

Well, it's no high priority feature...
