I would like to copy fields from GP to the clipboard using Dexterity

Posted on by Sheila Ochoa 855

I would like to pull shipping information from an invoice to the clipboard so it can be copied to a label. 

Example have a button that the user an push to capture the information, then place it in a text file the clipboard the user can use to copy/paste from.

I know VBA can be used with MyClipboard as a DataObject.  Does Dexterity have anything similar that can be used? 

Thanks in advance!

    I do see some Dexterity object functions suchas DexObject_addMethod(), DexObect_Create().  Would this be used and I could pass the shipping field from GP as properties?

    Hi Sheila

    The only thing I can think of is to display the data in a text field on a window, then select it and copy it.

    Field_SetSelection('Text Field', 1, length('Text Field'));

    Menu_Invoke(MENU_ACTION_COPY);

    Thanks David, that worked great.  Do you know if there is way to insert a carriage return using Dexterity?  If I am copying information into a text box and want a carraige return between the fields I am placing in there.

    Hi Sheila

    You can add carriage return using char(13) or carriage return, line feed char(13)  + char(10).
