[Solved] Send text to clipboard for external use

[ikua]

Hello!

I am trying to find a methode to send text from qcad script into the clipboard to paste it into an other app (excel). I could find not solution not with RInterface::clipobard also not with clipboardoperation. My last try was the following which did not work out. Any suggestions?

Code: Select all

var appWin = EAction.getMainWindow();
	var di = this.getDocumentInterface();
	var op = new RAddObjectsOperation();
	appWin.handleUserMessage("1")
	di.applyOperation(op); //tryout if di works
	var hui = di.getClipboard()
	appWin.handleUserMessage("222")

Would be happy about a hint. (I can save the information to an file, but for speed reasons i am searching also for a clipboard solution).

You can use QClipboard from Qt:

Code: Select all

var cb = QGuiApplication.clipboard();
cb.setText("My text");

di.getClipboard() returns the QCAD internal clipboard (for geometry entities).
