Excel for example will automatically convert your clipboard text (without the need to explicitly set your format). It would be interesting to hear to what application you want to paste (if you have any special application in mind). Ok, short answer: there is no such function in DXL. String Error = setClipboardWithFormat(FormatID, "The Data") I was hoping for a function (probably undocumented and used by the functions above) along the lines of: String Error = setDropString(FormatID, aTrigger, "The Data", false) Int FormatID = registeredFormat(FormatName) It can be done in any format in a drag/drop Trigger: I want to SET the clipboard with Data and a Format - using DXL.ĬopyToClipboard("This is not ")) I do not want to apply a Format to Data already on the clipboard. I do not want to GET Data from the clipboard. Re: Set Clipboard in CSV format SystemAdmin - Tue Oct 11 10:25:

Seems to me then with DXL that you would "paste" into your string variable, then write code to parse it expecting CSV format. That is I don't think you can copy to the clipboard, then paste, then tell the clipboard its a different format, then do the same paste expecting different results. Yes the target application can choose to interpret bytes on the clipboard in a variety of formats when pasting and can look at that data and determine its format but that does not mean that the clipboard has any notion of that format.

This is not a DOORS specific request - you should look in appropriate areas before posting a request. Re: Set Clipboard in CSV format OurGuest - Mon Oct 10 10:28: So my app wants to query the clipboard for a specific format it can decode, and 'paste' it appropriatly.

DOORS does this to copy items/objects and Word ignores the data in that format since it does not understand it. I used CSV as an example, applications can specify their own formats which they understand. It CSV data is put on the clipboard, but with the plain text format, the recieving App will not know it is CSV and will not parse it as CSV. So the recieving application interprets the data based on the format. Pasting to notepad - Notepad chooses plain text. Pasting to paint - Paint chooses enhanced metafile. Word copys to the clipboard as: plain text, richtext, html, enhanced metafile etc.

This allow multiple formats to be placed on the clipboard by an application, and the application pasted into to can query the formats to pick the most appropriate format and decide how to interpret the data. My understanding is that data on the clipboard can be 'tagged' with a format.

Regards, Mathias Additionally you might have luck pasting RTF (which supports tables). What are you trying to do? If you want to paste tables to Excel then we already have a thread where this is described. The caller only needs to specify a custom clipboard format if he wants to put multiple data types. I might be wrong, but I think clipboard formats are for automatic type conversions done by the system itself. Re: Set Clipboard in CSV format Mathias Mamsch - Fri Oct 07 16:37: The "Drag-and-drop trigger functions" allow some access to the clipboard and the formats it contains, but I want to do this without Drag-Drop. I want to set CSV to the clipboard, but without setting the format, a paste interprets it as plain text.
