Hi all,

So I am having the issue from trying to get Ctrl + C/V/X  (copy paste cut) to work while using a Ribbonbar. How we used to do it was in the menu object, we would call of_SendMessage("pfc_copy"). So when I setting up my ribbonbar parent object I tried to do that but since it is not a message object it can't be done. I know that if I directly call the pfc_copy in a datawindow it would work like:

ue_copy(Ribbonbar Event){

Parent.dw_1.triggerevent("pfc_copy")

}

I am wonder if there is a way to make this more dynamic so I would not have to hard code each datawindow into the Ribbonbar. 

I hope this makes sense.

Your help is very appreciated!

Hi Kevin，

I recommend that you define custom event names for the same category according to RibbonBar's button-type control classification.

Then identify the corresponding response event based on the tag attribute of the RibbonBar object, such as the pfc_copy event of the Datawindow you mentioned.

And you can download the demo app from the link below which can show you how to use the RibbonBar control.

Hi, Kevin -

I've not yet used the ribbon bar, but here is the code that is contained in the of_SendMessage function in the ancestor menu object pfc_m_master (it is located in the pfcwnsrv.pbl):

n_cst_menu lnv_menu

return lnv_menu.of_sendMessage (this, as_message)

"as_message" is the command ("pfc_copy", in your case). The problem is the first argument to the of_SendMessage function in the n_cst_menu object... which is an object of type menu. The RibbonBar is obviously NOT an object of type menu, so this code won't work in a RibbonBar as it stands.

You'll need to see if you can create/provide a function that does what the of_SendMessage function in pfc_n_cst_menu (the ancestor of n_cst_menu, which also resides in the pfcwnsrv.pbl) does. The code in that function is not complicated, but since I'm not familiar with the RibbonBar, I cannot say how difficular/easy this will be to accomplish.

I hope this helps point you in the right direction.

Regards, John
