Grimm", "124 Maple, Anytown, NC", 12345) $customers << customer.new("Johnny Storm", "123 Maple, Anytown, NC", 12324) class ClipMainWindow < FXMainWindow def initialize(anApp) # Initialize base class first super(anApp, "Clipboard Example", nil, nil,DECOR_ALL, 0, 0, 400, 300) #declare member variable clippedCustomer @clippedCustomer="" # Horizontal frame contains buttons buttons = FXHorizontalFrame.new(self, LAYOUT_SIDE_BOTTOM|LAYOUT_FILL_X|PACK_UNIFORM_WIDTH) # Cut and paste buttons copyButton = FXButton.new(buttons, "Copy") pasteButton = FXButton.new(buttons, "Paste") # Place the list in a sunken frame sunkenFrame = FXVerticalFrame.new(self, LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y|FRAME_SUNKEN|FRAME_THICK, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) # Customer list customerList = FXList.new(sunkenFrame, 6, nil, 0, LIST_BROWSESELECT|LAYOUT_FILL_X|LAYOUT_FILL_Y) $customers.each do |customer| customerList.appendItem(customer.name, nil,customer) end #Moved this code from the bottome of the file as in needs to be in the initalization of the window. #User clicks Copy copyButton.connect(SEL_COMMAND) do customer = customerList.getItemData(customerList.currentItem) types = [ FXWindow.stringType ] if acquireClipboard(types) @clippedCustomer = customer end end #moved this code as well. #Must connect the the _Window_ SEL_CLIPBOARD_REQUREST not the buttons #Handle clipboard request self.connect(SEL_CLIPBOARD_REQUEST) do #setDNDData was misspelled. setDNDData(FROM_CLIPBOARD, FXWindow.stringType, Fox.fxencodeStringData(@clippedCustomer.to_s)) end end def create super show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN) end end if __FILE__ == $0 FXApp.new("ClipboardExample", "FXRuby") do |theApp| ClipMainWindow.new(theApp) theApp.create theApp.run end end [/QUOTE]
