Examples of supporting clipboard? [message #46574] Fri, 23 May 2003 14:36 Go to next message

Now that I have a working Table with system properties culled from the
runtime, not eclipse, JVM, I now want to be able to select a cell and copy
the value so I can paste it into an editor (or elsewhere). Can someone
point me to an example and/or supporting material for how to make a view
support the Copy menu item (I've discovered the TableCursor class so I can
select a particular cell fine)?

Thanks and have fun! - Bob

Please see the snippets at

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/dev.html.

For more places to find SWT information, we maintain a list of SWT links
at:

The previous post only has the information on how to actually use the
clipboard. In order to hook the copy action, you need to have your view
do something like the following inside your createPartControl() method:

IActionBars bars = getViewSite().getActionBars();
bars.setGlobalActionHandler(
IWorkbenchActionConstants.COPY,
new Action() {
public void run() {
// Put your code here
});


Best,

Dave

THIS is probably what I needed! Thanks, I'd already perused the SWT pages
and samples quite a bit (that's how I learned about the TableCursor class,
for example).

Thanks and have fun! - Bob
