The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Copying RTF text to the clipboard

Asked by hawkinsp in FoxPro Database

Tags: vfp, olertf, rtf

How can I automate copying RTF text to the clipboard?  I’m using the oleRTF ActiveX control in VFP 7, as demonstrated in the Sample Solutions.  Setting the AutoVerbMenu property enables the popup menu including Cut and Copy options, even though the oleRTF object doesn’t have a RightClick event.  That means a section of RTF text can be highlighted manually and copied to the clipboard manually, no problem.

The snag is, I want to do this via VFP code as well.  Relatively easy, you say, because of the shortcut keys listed on the AutoVerb menu e.g. Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C.  However, these shortcut keys don’t work !!

I was hoping I could do something like this on a command button:

thisform.oleRTF.SetFocus()
thisform.oleRTF.SelStart = 1
thisform.oleRTF.SelLength = 9999
KEYBOARD '{RIGHTMOUSE}'
KEYBOARD '{SHIFT+C}'

I have a feeling this might work if I could figure out why the options on the AutoVerb menu work with mouse clicks but not with the shortcut keys.

Earlier attempts included _CLIPTEXT = oleRTF.ValueRTF but this merely places a character string onto the clipboard with interleaved RTF control characters.  It doesn’t copy formatted RTF.  I also played with oleRTF.DoVerb() without success.  API routines such as _EdCopy() might be appropriate but I don’t know C.

Any suggestions appreciated.
