Foxtools Editor Support Functions

_EDCUT

_EdCut() Cuts the highlighted text of the editor session passed in <nWHAND> parameter to the Windows Clipboard.

VFP Syntax

= _EdCut(nWHAND)

Parameters

[in] nWHAND

Fox-window handle of the editor session to be closed.

Returns

VOID - no evaluable return value, coz always TRUE.

Remarks

You do not need to open the Windows Clipboard manually. _EdCut() does the Windows Clipboard handling for you behind the scenes transparently. If no text is highlighted _EdCut() just does nothing.

VFP Example(s)

Opening an editor session, selecting some text and finally cutting the selected lines into Windows Clipboard:

*\\ Open editor session
*\\ There should be some text in TEST.TXT 
nWHAND =_EDOPENFIL("TEST.TXT", 1) 
*\\ Start offset: row #1 
nEDstart = _EDSKIPLIN(m.nWHAND,0,0) 
*\\ End offset: row #10 
nEDend = _EDSKIPLIN(m.nWHAND,0,10) 
*\\ Highlight text block 
= _EDSELECT(m.nWHAND, m.nEDstart, m.nEDend) 
*\\ Finally copy selection to clipboard 
= _EDCUT(m.nWHAND) 
*\\ Close editor session 
= _EDCLOSEFI(m.nWHAND, 1)
*// Try to paste clipboard somewhere else
