How i can get the data into the variable which is stored in the mouse pointer ?

latha

 Hi,

How i can get the data into the variable which is stored in the mouse pointer ?

EX: From any txt file, i will select some data with mouse. By pressing mouse middle click , i can paste the data in my required location. But instead of pasting i need to get that data into some variable. Is there any SKILL command to store it in variable.

If it is there please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Varalakshmi.

  • Hi Latha,

    One possibility might be to open a view() type window on the text, and then it's possible to  define a bindkey associated with the "Show File" window to do something - that could use hiGetTextSelection() to retrieve the selected text. You could even define a popup menu so that you could do various operations on the selected text. You'd probably also want a bindkey or menu to call hiUnselectTextAll().

    Regards,

    Andrew.
