Tell me about there clipboard

Do you come from a Hypercard Background?


In LC, there is a big difference between "the clipboard" and "the clipboardData".


One is a function that tells what sort of contents the clipboard contains, like text or an image, and the other is a property that actually contains the information.


Bet you are mixing these up.

I've always assumed ("Never assume anything, Watson.") that the LC clipboard
worked the same way as other app clipboards. But I've been stuck with this
problem for some time now.

I've been trying to pass data from an LC 5.02 stack to an .exe through the
clipboard.  The .exe can pick up the copied data from other .exes. I've
tested that.

I've set up the standard cut, copy and paste commands and tested that, it
works.

But the copied data doesn't get passed on when I use LC. 

Now I know I've done something wrong but I just can't put a finger on it.

So, Does anyone have a complete understanding of LCs' clipboard? And if so,
want to share?

Cal
