How do you code right-click copying/pasting for theend user?

Post by Bob » Tue Aug 11, 2009 12:06 am

I am thinking that there is probably a very easy way to do this...but I can't quite get it right. I have some code that lets the end user type in anything to then hear revSpeak read it. But now I want to allow a user to copy text from a web site like Gutenberg.org and then paste it into the text field to hear it read. Can someone help this newbie? How do you make right-click driven copying/pasting active for an end user in a text field? :lol:

Thanks!
Bob

Hi Bob!

You will want to read the entry on the popup command in the docs.

Best,
