Re: [platform-dev] Clipboard: understand late-cut

[Rolf Theunissen <rolf.theunissen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,

The copy-past behavior is implemented with the drag-and-drop API of SWT. Specifically, the Clipboard and FileTransfer are of interest for the copy-pasting of files.

Have a look at this article as a starter: https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-DND/DND-in-SWT.html#_Using_the_Clipboard

Best Regards,

Rolf

Hi,

For text everything works as expected. Cutting a text immediately
removes it from the text control (it is stored in the clipboard) and on
paste it will be inserted.

But I'm trying to understand how to handle a typical file manager
workflow: a user selects a file in the Windows Explorer, invokes Cut
(Ctrl+X) and in an SWT-based application pastes the file. How can the
SWT-based application find out whether the file was cut or copied?
