Hivemind,
Recommendation as to what is best to set the clipboardData property to,
when you want to copy styled text from a field to the clipboard for
exchange with a 3rd party (any 3rd party) application that supports some
form of styled text, that can include text in multiple languages (i.e.
Unicode)?
Examples:
1) set the clipboardData["rtf"] to the rtfText of fld "X"
2) set the clipboardData["html"] to the htmlText of fld "X"
3) set the clipboardData["text"] to the text of fld "X" -- since the
text in field since LC7 is unicode
4) set the clipboardData["unicode"] to the textEncode(fld "X","UTF-16")
Something else? Should fullClipboardData or rawClipboardData be used
instead? Looking for best practice recommendation.
