Set Clipboarddata

[lohill]

Is there a work-around for 'set clipboarddata' when using LC 8.1.1 on a Windows PC? I have tried fullclipboarddata too and it doesn't work.

You can test this easily by just making a button with the following script:

on mouseUp
set the clipboarddata to "Hello World!"
end mouseUp

This will run successfully on a Mac but not a PC using LC 8.1.1.

Hmmm.

Does this have anything to do with a current thread on the beginners section?

"copying and pasting from/to fields not working?"

The clipBoardData is an array. See the dictionary for usage.

This is no longer reproducible, not sure why Larry saw that in the first place:

You could use the rawClipboardData ( introduced in LC 8 ).

There is a great Clipboard stack for both, clipboardData and rawClipboardData, by Stephen Barncard.
