Hello all,

can anyone help me with this?

I need to get the info from the clipboard.

I found some info on this forum about CLIPACU.DLL which could do the trick, but I cannot find it anywhere (before it was located on the AcuCorp sample directory)

The purpose I need it for is the get the info from the clipboard and being able to put it in a grid by a simple Ctrl-V command. Maybe someone has an other solution for this.

Thanks in advance,

Ruud

    There is an easy way to implement standard Windows Edit keys in an AcuCOBOL-GT program. All that is required is to add the following lines at the beginning of the program (see note below):

    set environment "KEYSTROKE" to "exception=2001 ^x".
    set environment "KEYSTROKE" to "exception=2002 ^c".
    set environment "KEYSTROKE" to "exception=2003 ^v".
    set environment "KEYSTROKE" to "exception=2004 ^z".
    set environment "KEYSTROKE" to "exception=2005 ^a".
    Set exception value 2001 to cut-selection.
    Set exception value 2002 to copy-selection.
    Set exception value 2003 to paste-selection.
    Set exception value 2004 to undo.
    Set exception value 2005 to select-all-selection.

    NOTE: The above example uses exception values 2001 through 2005. The programmer must pick exception values that are not already being used in the program.

    Hi Doug, thank you for your reply. Does this also work within a grid or just for entry fields?

    Hi Doug, I tried this in the grid, but it only works when you're in entry mode.
    It doesn't generate a msg-begin-entry event.
    What I'm trying to achieve is that when a user presses Ctrl-V on a grid cell, to put the contents from the clipboard in that cell and that is not what I can do with the exception value as you described, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
    Do you have a small example of how it might be done?

    Yes, that's how it works. The grid cell must be in entry mode in order to paste with CTRL-V. Pressing Enter will put it in entry mode, then do CTRL-V.
