XTEXT shares the clipboard with A-Shell (and the rest of Windows), allowing you to easily cut/copy/paste between it and other applications. The user can access the clipboard operations by any of the following methods, all of which are fairly standard among Windows applications:

•   Keyboard commands: Ctrl+X (cut), Ctrl+C (copy), Ctrl+V (paste)

•   Toolbar commands: See TXF_TOOLBAR, and TXC.TOOLBARMASK for details on displaying the toolbar and selecting which toolbar icons appear.

•   Context (right-click) menu: Right-clicking within the area of the XTEXT control will display a pop-up menu (aka "context menu") containing options for the three clipboard commands. By default, the menu uses the words "Cut", "Copy" and "Paste", but you can customize them (either to confuse your users or for non-English environments) by adding the following items to the SYSMSG.xxx file (where xxx is the extension for the current language definition, as defined by the LANGUAGE statement in miame.ini):

004,001,Cut

004,002,Copy

004,003,Paste

•   In addition to pasting text, XTEXT will also paste clipboard images if the destination format (TXC.DOCFMT'DST) supports it. Note however, that in some configurations, the TXF_WRAP flag may be required.

Bitmaps are recognized as paste-able in addition to text.
