Copy / Paste Behaviour

[wartiaga]

Hi, If I copy this caracters 01220036000106 and paste in another get I get this caracters 01220036000.
Any idea?

Thanks.

Add ES_AUTOHSCROLL style to the GET.

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

No, as far as I know.

[Uwe.Diemer]

Hello Uwe,
you could change the get function and link it in.
Best regards,

Dear Uwe,

Are all your GETs from resources or do you create them from source code ?

do you plan to modify all of them ?

[Uwe.Diemer]

All are from resources

The fiels have a space of 30 C but it cuts after 17

So it should be easy with a find and replace operation.

For Gets created by code, Get class adds ES_AUTOHSCROLL style.
For Gets created from RESOURCE, Get class automatically adds ES_AUTOHSCROLL style if not already included in the RC file.

So, you can be assured that all Gets do have the ES_AUTOHSCROLL style, whether you added the style in your RC file or not.

So no need to change your programs or rc files.

Your problem is not whether or not the Get has ES_AUTOHSCROLL.

Hi, If I copy this caracters 01220036000106 and paste in another get I get this caracters 01220036000.

The real problem is the width of the Get Variable. The width of the Get variable you have used must be 11.

Then the Get does not allow you to enter characters exceeding 11 or in case of Paste, it truncates the value to 11. That is what is happening in your case.

If you have an intention to paste larger values, create the Get with character variable of adequate width.

Don't worry about horizontal scrolling. That is automatically built into every Get.

Hi Mr. Nages,

What version of fivewin did you use to compile your example? The behavior I mentioned happens in a certain version of fivewin, 1811. The get variable size is correct, it was declared with size 14.
Thank you!

Thank you!

Please take a little time copying the sample to your fwh1811 samples folder and test it. I am sure you did not have time to test it with fwh1811.

Even with fwh1811 also the behavior should be and in fact is EXACTLY the same.
Tested just now.

This has nothing to do with FWH.

It is the Clipper/Harbour GET class that does not allow entry of characters exceeding the length of the variable. This behavior is consistent from the first version of Clipper till today with (x)Harbour and we should all be familiar with it for years.
