I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. You can paste text in with the
middle mouse button into a text field on a form, but perhaps that's not what
you're asking.

I don't know what you mean by a "file you click or draw", for a start...

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Yes , I can paste it into form filed (hiCreateStringField ....)from I
click or draw to select on a file ?
Could I get the context to a variable ?

Hi Charley,

I'm sure this is just an "English" problem, but I've absolutely no idea what you
mean here, as the above questions do not make sense.

Perhaps if you're a bit more verbose and can give an example, it might help
overcome the limitations in your English?

I hope you don't see this as rude, but otherwise it's very hard to help you.

Best Regards,

Andrew.
 
Dear Charley,

In linux highlighting text will put it into the clipboard. To paste
this text somewhere, you just need to press the middle mouse button/
wheel. If your mouse is 2-buttons only then press left and right
buttons at the same time. This would paste the text as well.
Otherwise, you could use the Shift-Insert shortcut as another mean to
paste too (just like Ctrl-V in windows). Ctrl-Insert shortcut does the
copy (like Ctrl-C in windows). The Ctrl-C shortcut has a different
meaning when invoked in a Unix X-terminal. In fact, the Ctrl-C
shortcut should interrupt the running program by sending a stop
(SIGQUIT) signal to the system. That said, Many applications such as
OpenOffice also support Windows-like CtlC/CtlV Copy/Paste.
At the end, I'm wondering whether you want to copy/paste back and
forth between Linux/Windows (via VNC for example). I'm also wondering
which window manager you are using, hope not that ugly fvwm ...
Anyway, there is a good forum you could subscribe to for such
questions: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.misc/topics

Hoping this is helping you :)

Regards,
Riad.

BTW, IC61 supports the use of ctrl-C/ctrl-V to copy/paste. But in IC5141 (with
Motif widgets) this isn't supported - you have to use the keys that Riad
mentions above.

Andrew.

It's not a good idea to use Ctrl+C for copy in DFII, even if it does work in
some places in IC6.1. Ctrl+Insert is better since if you enter Ctrl+C in the
wrong place, it is taken as a user abort.

+v)) function.
