Hi everybody!
I want to get selected text from an ole-integrated acrobat reader.
At present, to get the string, I select the text with the mouse, press
ctrl+c and press a button that reads the content clipboard.
To shorten the workflow, I post an "ctrl+c" keyevent to the display just
before I read the content of the clipboard.
The unsatisfying result of this operation: I get the old clipboard content.
The content is actual, only when I part the actions!
Can anybody help me with this problem?
I've written some code to illustrate this problem.
Just enter some text, press the "ctrlc" button (watch debug output) and at
the end "show clipboard".
Thank you,
Florian

When you use Display.post to post the Ctrl+C key events, this is quite
different from using the Clipboard.setContents() method. Your question is
not the same as the one in msg04592.html.
When you use Display.post, you add events to the event queue. These events
are not processed until the event loop is run. That means when you call
clipboard.getContents() right after posting CTRL+C, you should still get the
old clipboard contents because the CTRL+C is still waiting in the queue to
be processed.
