| Examples |
Open examples.docs.editText in the Object Database. Select any line of text in the window that has some styled text in it and then type and execute: editMenu.copy ()
This will select some data of type TEXT. Click elsewhere in the word processing window and execute:
Notice that the copied material is placed into the document at the insertion point.
Notice that the text is inserted into the outline on the selected line or, if no line is selected, immediately below the line on which the cursor is located. Note, too, that it has lost its styling. This is because text in an outline does not have styles |
| Notes |
Performs the same action as selecting the Paste command from the Frontier Edit menu. If you paste the Clipboard into an outline, the pasted material is inserted as a heading immediately beneath and at the same level as the currently selected heading. The cursor remains on the pasted heading. The action applies to the Frontier environment only and depends on what kind of window is frontmost.
