Hi guys,

I have a button that it is suppose to copy a txt field content to clipboard.

Currently, the code is like this piece below, but when I click it doesn't copy the field to clipboard.

        void clicked()
        {
            TextBuffer tb;
            super();
        
            if(!ExampleTable.FieldValue)
                return;
        
            tb = new TextBuffer();
            tb.setText(ExampleTable.FieldValue);
            tb.toClipboard();
        }

I did a little debugging and the field value is there.

However, the tb.toClipboard(); is not doing anything.

Do you guys have any other approach?

Thanks

X++ code running Azure can't directly modify the clipboard on the local machine where you're running your browser. It would have to handled by a script running in browser and I'm not aware of any such logic in D365FO. (It doesn't mean that I'm sure that nothing like that exists.)

Hi bois0155,

The toClipboard() method is used with windows form, and it won't work with browser application.

Maybe you can try a third party tool or re-design a feasible solution.
