Retrieve a word from a clipboard [message #1703364]

Hello everybody,

during my process, I need to retrieve a word from a text component and put it in a String variable.
I made this :

m_aut.execute(textfield.selectAll(), null);
Clipboard clpbrd= Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();

From this moment, how can I put the selected word in the clipboard ?
Like this : clpbrd.setContents(new StringSelection(textfield.selectAll().toString()), null); ?

And then, how can I retrieve the word from the clipboard and put it in a String variable ?

Thanks for your time.
Romain

I found a way to get the content from the clipboard. But I don't know how to put the selected word in the clipboard.
If you have any idea, let me know.

Best regards,
Romain.

Hi Romain,

I'm not a developer, but I think that you can just use the "normal" Java methods for this. A quick google gave me:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3591945/copying-to-clipboard-in-java
http://www.avajava.com/tutorials/lessons/how-do-i-copy-a-string-to-the-clipboard.html

The Jubula action for the ITE "copy to clipboard" isn't a part of the client API as far as I'm aware, since there are Java methods available for doing it which can be used when you're in the Java context of the client API.

Hope that helps.
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your answer. I already used these methods of the clipboard.

What I wanted, it was to give a String variable to the clipboard but not directly in Java, like I'm doing now. I guess it's a little difficult to represent but my method has two parts :
1 : click on component, selectAll (selected word) and copy in the clipboard
2 : get the content from the clipboard and put it in the String variable.
I already have the second part. I'm still working on the first part.

Thanks for your time.
Romain.

Yes.
This question is global and I already have a part of the solution (second part). And the first part is related to the other topic. I think this topic can be considered as closed.

Best Regards,
Romain.
