Re: [platform-dev] Clipboard: understand late-cut
|
Hi Rolf,
Sorry, I don't understand how this answers my question. The normal text
copy-paste I understand. I also understand how to retrieve the copied
file paths (FileTransfer), but how to find out whether an application
has cut or copied it? For drag and drop operations this information is
stored in the DropTargetEvent.detail, but the Clipboard does not have
this information. Neither a listener is missing to tell the process
which puts the file into the clipboard that it was pasted.

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:

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?
