Copy text to Windows clipboard

I need to copy text, either from a Flash textArea component
or a text member, to the Windows clipboard so it can be pasted into
a form field in a web page. I'm trying to streamline a data entry
process and alleviating CTRL+C will be a big help. Does anyone know
a way of doing this?
Thanx in advance.

If you do not need it in Shockwave, there is the free
clipboard xtra
from the wonderful Valentin Schmidt...
http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/xtras/clipboard/
That has a whole of of control over the clipboard and its
contents/formats.
If you just need a simple text to/from the clipboard routine,
then you
can use BuddyAPI's baCopyText() and baPasteText()

Copying text to WIndows clipboard

I have a JTextPane and want to be be to cut & paste text from it to Windows ckipboard so I can paste into
Windows.
So if I select text displayed in 12 point Arial, I will
get the Text in Word from a paste but not the style.
I can cut and paste the text but none of the styles
(font family,size) come across. Is it possible to do
this??
MArk

instead of creating your own cut, copy, and paste methods:
if you are using a JTextComponent, use its JTextComponent.cut()/copy()/paste()

I find that I can no longer copy text to the clipboard.

Why can I no longer copy text to my clipboard?

Here is a little more information. Last week everything worked fine. I opened the same document yesterday and tried to copy some text to the clipboard and now I get an error message saying "can not copy to clipboard, internal error. I also find that pdf files from the internet will not load and all I get is a small black x box in the upper left corner of the screen. Went through the steps in control panel and adobe is enabled.

Possible to copy string to Windows clipboard?

I'm trying to write a short script to add a context menu item that copies the selected item's URI to the Windows clipboard so I can paste it into an email.
The following code shows the string in an alert box:
if (app.document.selections.length==1)
var myPath = decodeURI( app.document.selections[0].path);
alert(myPath);
} else if (app.document.selections.length==0 || app.document.selections.length>1)
alert("Please select single file or folder");
I thought this might be ok but since I can't highlight the text on the alert box it doesn't help much. Is there any way to copy a string from the script into the Windows clipboard?

I've just come up with a temporary solution. Replacing the alert with a prompt box with the path as the default text means I can copy it.
Replace:
alert(myPath);
with:
prompt("",myPath);
It's not as quick as I'd like since I have to right-click the text, select copy then close the prompt box. But it's the best solution I've got so far.

Copy paste from windows clipboard to JTextField

I am making a swing application with a lot of components in it. There are a lot of JtextFields in the application. when i do Ctrl+C from a JTextField and do a Ctrl V in a different JTextField of the same application the text gets copied to the second JTextField. But when i copy something from windows and try to paste it in JTextField it does'nt work. Please guide me. Some other component is eating up the Ctrl C/Ctrl V event or what?
I tried adding keystroke's to the InputMap of the JTextField but it still does'nt work.
Kindly guide me. Thanks in advance
Excerpts from the code:
JTextField text1 = new JTextField();
KeyStroke copykeystroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_C, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK);
KeyStroke pastekeystroke = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_V, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK);
text1.getInputMap().put(copykeystroke, "copy-to-clipboard");
text1.getInputMap().put(pastekeystroke, "paste-from-clipboard");

Button to copy text to the clipboard

Reading the document "Javascript for Acrobat API Reference" Page 120:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf
the document discusses the execMenuItem command. From all that I have researched it appears I cannot create a button that copies text from a text field to the UI clipboard.
On page 121 the API reference says:
To ensure a secure environment, the menu items that can be executed are limited to the following:
●AcroSendMail:SendMail
●ActualSize
●AddFileAttachment
●BookmarkShowLocation
●Close
●CropPages
●DeletePages.............
..............●ZoomViewOut
The list is long but nowhere is "Copy" mentioned. I don't want to surreptitiously copy text or use a trusted function. I am content with the user knowing a button just copied a field of text. I just want to skip the highlighting of multiple field to get all the text. Does anyone know a way around this? I would like to copy a text field to the clipboard so the text can be entered elsewhere in another program.

All I know is they made this impossible a long time ago, like with Acrobat 5 or 6. I recall because I took advantage of it and never discovered a workaround.

Hello,
Need help auto copying Var value from CTI toolkit to Windows clipboard. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I'm no programmer myself, but you may want to start by looking at the CTI OS Developers Guide. There's tons of good info in there. Not sure what version you're on so here are links for 7.5 as well as 8.0:

Can anybody tell how to copy text .

Copy cannot be disabled to my knowledge. Did you try quitting Safari and resetting your iPad? To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

Copying text to the clipboard in AVDocDidOpen event handler causes Acrobat 9 to crash

I'm trying to copy the filename of a document to the clipboard in a plugin with my AVDocDidOpen event handler. It works for the first file opened; however when a second file is opened, Acrobat crashes. The description in the application event log is: "Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 9.1.0.163, faulting module gdi32.dll, version 5.1.2600.5698, fault address 0x000074cc."
I've confirmed that the specific WIN32 function that causes this to happen is SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hText); When that line is commented out and remaining code is left unchanged, Adobe doesn't crash.
Is there an SDK function that I should be using instead of WIN32's SetClipboardData()? Alternately, are there other SDK functions that I need to call be before or after I call SetClipboardData()
Bill Erickson

Leonard,
I tried it with both "DURING, HANDLER, END_HANDLER" and "try catch," as shown below. However, it doesn't crash in the event handler; it crashes later, so the HANDLER/catch block is never hit.
The string that's passed to SetClipboardData() is good, because I'm able to paste it into the filename text box of the print dialog when I try to create the "connector line" PDF. I also got rid of all the string manipulation and tried to pass a zero-length string to the clipboard but it still crashes.
Here's the code:
ACCB1 void ACCB2 CFkDisposition::myAVDocDidOpenCallback(AVDoc doc, Int32 error, void *clientData)
    PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(doc);
    char* pURL = ASFileGetURL(PDDocGetFile(annotDataRec->thePDDoc));
    if (pURL)    {
        if (strstr(pURL, "file://") && strstr(pURL, "Reviewed.pdf")) {
            // Opened from file system so copy filename to clipboard for connector line report
            char myURL[1000];
            strcpy(myURL, pURL);
            ASfree(pURL);    // Do this before we allocate a Windows handle just in case Windows messes with this pointer
            pURL = NULL;
            HGLOBAL hText = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, 1000);
            if (hText)    {
                try
                    // Skip path info and go right to filename
                    char *pText = (char *)GlobalLock(hText);
                    char *pWork = strrchr(myURL,'/');
                    if (pWork)    {
                        strcpy(pText, pWork+1);
                    } else {
                        strcpy(pText, myURL);
                    char *pEnd = pText + strlen(pText);    // Get null terminator address
                    // Replace "%20" in filename with " "
                    pWork = strstr(pText, "%20");
                    while (pWork)    {
                        *pWork = ' ';
                        memmove(pWork+1, pWork+3, (pEnd - (pWork+2)));
                        pWork = strstr(pText, "%20");
                    // Append a new file extension
                    pWork = strstr(pText, ".pdf");
                    *pWork = 0;    // truncate the string before ".pdf"
                    strcat(pWork,".Connectors.pdf");
                    GlobalUnlock(hText);     // Must do this BEFORE SetClipboardData()
                    // Write it to the clipboard
                    OpenClipboard(NULL);
                    EmptyClipboard();
                    SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, hText);     // Here's the culprit
                    CloseClipboard();
                    GlobalFree(hText);
                } catch (char * str) {

Programatically copying text to the clipboard

Short: I need to programatically copy a string of text from
either a variable or a hidden control field to the clipboard.
Long: We have a requirement to allow the user to 'pop-up' a
list of frequently used words, select one from the list and have
it pasted into a field on the form. What I would prefer to do
is select the user's words into an LOV and have the chosen word
placed into a hidden field. If I could move the contents of
that field to the clipboard, I can place the focus back in the
original field ('keep cursor position' = yes) and used the
PASTE_REGION built-in to insert the text without overwriting
anything.
The other method I have been experimenting with is creating my
own 'List of Values' form. I'm using a t-list to display the
user's word list. When-List-Changed copies the word to a visible
text field and an OK button places the focus in the text field,
executes the SELECT-ALL built-in, then the COPY-REGION built-in
and returns to the calling form with the word in the clipboard.
Problems: The user can't shrink the list by typing like they can
with an Oracle LOV. When the focus is in the t-list, the
DEFAULT functionality of the OK button doesn't happen. I can't
get a When-Mouse-Doubleclick trigger to fire while in the t-list.
In the end, I prefer the first method (the LOV) BUT... I have to
have a field visible on the form to place focus in, select all
of the text and copy to the clipboard. This field looks silly.
I'm sorry this question is so long winded. Thank you for
reading it all. Does anyone know how I might accomplish this
requirement (professionally)?
Thank you,
Fouad

Is it possible to copy text to the clipboard in Illustrator via Javascript ?

I am working on a very basic script that exports coordinates from Illustrator.
At the moment I am just outputing the values via $.writeln()
I was wondering if I could copy the output values to the clipboard. If so, what
am I looking for in the API ?
Thanks,
George

For an actionscript project I will need to animate a few hundred objects to certain destinations. These destinations are given by a designer who works on the look and feel of things in Illustrator.
I would like to make it as simple as possible for the designer to adjust things visually in Illustrator, then he can get a snippet to test in Flash as well.
Thank you very much for the applescript idea!
I'll use something like:
app.system("osascript -e 'set the clipboard to \"" + code + "\"'");

Why am I unable to copy and paste from clipboard?

I am able to copy text from Safari on iPad 3, but it is not saving to clipboard because I am unable to paste it (no paste option comes up when I tap). Sometimes it also pastes a previously copied text from the clipboard instead. How can I fix this?

but it is not saving to clipboard because I am unable to paste it (no paste option comes up when I tap).
you would benefit from telling where you are when no paste option comes up with you tab because it's up to the app if they support paste at all

How do I copy text from a Spotlight search result quicklook window?

Is it possible to copy text from the quicklook windows that appear when you hover over a Spotlight search result? It would be useful to be able to copy, say, a phone number or email address straight from the address book card that appears in Spotlight. The only options I see are to display the text in large type and to Facetime (for phone numbers) and to perform mapping functions for addresses; simple copying seems to be disabled for some reason.
I am using Spotlight in OS 10.7.5.
Michel Chaouli

Try this:
set the clipboard to item 1 of (get name of (static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari"))
(10906)

Copying text from Oracle Applications Window to other Application windows

Hi All,
I am not able to copy text from oracle applications windows to my other application windows.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Amit

Check in your organization who is able to copy the text. Then from that user machine, who is able to copy text, copy identitydb.obj file and copy to your machine (overwrite the current one)
Then clear its jcache and browser cache one time. From that point forward they can connect to both instances. This is accomplished as follows:
1. On each Client PC, you will need the new instance 1 (TEST) version of this identitydb.obj file located C:\Program Files\Oracle\identitydb.obj (default location )
2. Clear Jinitiator jcache : On the client PC delete all files found in c:\Program Files\oracle\jinitiator 11727 Export\jcache
3. Clear browser cache:
a) Netscape : Edità Preferencesà Advancedà cache and delete Memory Cache and Disk Cache
b) Internet Explorer : Toolsà Internet Options à delete Temporary Internet Files
For any further assistance pls. feel free to ask.
Regards,
