Dear SWT users,
currently i am working on the task to export some table contents
(statistics) out of my swt application. The task is simply to allow the
user to work with the statistics using other programs (Word, Excel etc.)
Well, it is easy to write a tab text file that can be imported into
Excel. It was also easy (using one of the swt snippets) to copy a text
into the clipboard and insert it into Word. So, the basic functionality
is provided. But I would like to make it more comfortable.
Has anyone got some experience with
- generating an Excel Document (using OLE?)
- putting table data into the clipboard so that it is
properly inserted into an Excel document
(in my case the whole table becomes one cell)
and could me some hints what to read/where to start?
Thanks a lot in advance
Friederich

Hello Konstantin,
how to do that? Using TextTransfer and putting a csv-text in it?
(I think my main problem is that I have no experience in using the
clipboard)
Thanks,

Hello,
sorry, it seems the error is somewhere else. Yes, using tabs and
newlines is how it works, but I did already so and i just found out: it
worked before :-(
I watched someone trying the paste feature in Excel and in that
particular case (as I recognise now) it did not work - whatever unusual
he did....
So, in fact the problem does not exist.
Nevertheless, thanks for all answers
