Clipboard workaround [message #119843]

Hi again,

My SWT app currently uses Clipboard, however I noticed that RAP doesn't
implement Clipboard yet. Any suggestions for a workaround? I would rather
not do context menu off right clicking because my app currently doesn't
have any context menu. I suppose if no alternative is found I can always
add a label to say "Press Ctrl+C to copy to clipboard" :P

Thanks in advance,
Howard

We didn't investigate in clipboard support so far. Maybe you'd like to
have a look at this snippet and try wrapping it in a custom RAP widget?

Good luck,
Ralf
