Hello my PB Amigos,
I am in a fix with a silly requirement from my users. I have a Tab Page and that tab page is inherited from a user object; there is a SLE in that UO. (Actually there are 4 levels of inheritance, but I am keeping the problem simple)
The problem is when the user runs the application and when he tries to paste a value in that SLE (Ctrl+V), it just doesn't work. If he uses the Shift+Insert it works fine. I have tried all the methods and I also gave them an option of having Alt+C . But they are very adamant with their requirement. They just want Ctrl+V .
Can anyone help me out of this situation?
Thanks,
Kiran.

1. Does that SLE allows to type in anything? If no then the property DisplayOnly needs to be unchecked.
2. Are you writing any script to set the value when user press 'shift+insert' or 'Ctrl+V' ? If yes then looks like some other event is preventing it to do this.
3. Is it a simple SLE or it's a part of datawindow column with any editstyle?

I am using PB 10.2.1. Sorry for my delayed response. Eventually this requirement took a back seat until now. So I am back! :)
There is no script whatsoever for the key press and it is a simple SLE.
I raised a ticked with sybase and they too found the problem. But they said that they can provide fix to PB 11. They asked me to upgrade my application to 11. A lame solution which my customers objected.
So now I am stuck on finding some solution to this problem. Any help from any one will be Greatly Appreciated!
Thanks, Kiran.
I just opened one of my applications and attempted to Ctrl-V paste something in, and I as well was unable to do so. We have an ancestor menu that we use for all our applications, which we then alter for each app. It has an entry on the "Edit" header, "Paste", with a shortcut ctrl-v (just like any normal windows app). In my application is it set to invisible and disabled. On a whim, I enabled it (still invisible so the menu does not show up) and attempted to paste using the shortcut ctrl-v. It worked. This menu is inherited from pfc_m_master. You didn't answer before if you use pfc. Perhaps, if you do, this would work for you as well?
If the menu shortcut doesn't work, you could always specifically go into the Key event of the window. It fires whenever a keyboard button is pressed, and has indicators for whether the shift and/or control keys are being held down at the time of the key press. You could edit this event to look for the control +v combo and then manually put the clipboard value into the field then.
Apologies if this is one of the methods you already tried.

Well.. user's requirement is logical... What version of PB are you using ? Are you using PFC ? You will need to figure out why ctrl+v doesn't work - it's probably being processed by some other event.
Try having a simple app with a window having SLE and see if CTRL+V works there ( it works for me).. and then Window with a tabpage and SLE and see if it works there.
