Hi There I am honored to be the first to post a message to this new newsgroup. The fact that nobody else has since it's creation makes me worried any one will read this but Here Goes ... I have been programming with PM and Microsoft C for the past few weeks. I have a window with a dialog box. This box has about 12 entry field controls and same number of static text controls. I want to be able to click on an entry field and have the contents of the clipboard be copied into the same entry field that has just been clicked on. I thought this would be easy. After all there is WinSendDlgItem with EM_PASTE message. as in: case EntryFieldNumber: WinSendDlgItem(EntryFieldNumber, EM_PASTE, NULL,NULL); break; However this always writes the contents of the clipboard twice to the same entry field and then clears the clipboard. I have tried all sorts of ways to get around this nothing is working right or sensibly. D Does anyone out there have an answer or a friend at Microsoft with the answer?? Any help or reply would be appreciated. Thanks a lot JeffGraber

Hello there, In article <112283@linus.mitre.org>, jeff@lid.mitre.org (Jeff Graber) writes: > I have been programming with PM and Microsoft C for the past few weeks. I've been trying to put together a WIMP environment in the last few weeks,using a program call 'EASEL OS/2 EE'(presumably someone's TM, hopefully they won't mind). Anyway,it provides a very high level language for doing this kind of work.It is very easy to use and all that,but more importantly,as far as I remember it provides very easy access to the PM clipboard. I know very little about the internals of the operation,etc.,but I thought you might be interested to hear about this anyway. (> Any help or reply would be appreciated.):-) If you're particularly interested,e-mail me (address below) and I'll find out whatever I can for you,OK? In the meantime,good luck!
