If your application made with REALbasic uses styled text in editfields,
you
might want to provide the user with the ability to copy the text along
with
the style info (font, fontsize, styles) to the clipboard. If you simply
copy
the text property of the editfield to the clipboard, the user will get
the
text but without any font, fontsize or style. Fortunately, there is a
very
easy way to include the style data.
The example below copies the text from editfield1 to the clipboard then
adds
the style data as well.
dim c as clipboard
c = new clipboard
c.text = editField1.text
c.addmacdata(editfield1.textstyledata,"styl")
