I am new using RichText control and also I am just trying out. When user doubleclick on a text column of a dw the RichText Editor become visible. So they type whatever in the RichText and if they DoubleClick in the RichText then I want to copy the text only to the dw_1.object.column1[1]. 

My question is how do I paste the text I copy to the clipboard via rte_1.Copy() in the dw_1.object.Column1[1]? an advise or guidance will be greatly appreciate. 

 

Regards,

Clarence.

Hi, Clarence - 

The answer is... it depends. Are you wanting to copy the formatted Rich Text from the RTE (Rich Text Editor) into a Rich Text DataWindow, or are you wanting to copy the text content from the RTE into a normal DataWindow's column?

There are CopyRTF() and PasteRTF (RTF = Rich Text Formatted) functions that can be used with Rich Text content, and there are Copy() and Paste() functions for copying non-Rich Text content.

I suggest you examine the PB Help topics on these functions to learn the details on how each works, then you can decide which one(s) is/are appropriate for what you wish to do.

Best regards, John

Please also read the PB Help topic on the Clipboard() PowerScript function.
