BASIC Macro to Copy textbox value to clipboard

[himatech]

Hi,

I'm new to OO and I've looked everywhere to find the answer but unfortunately, I can't!

I want to create a button that call a macro to copy the value shown in a textbox in one of the forms within the database.

Example:
Text Box "Employer" is showing the value of "IBM". When I click the custom button, I need the value "IBM" to be copied to the clipboard.

Note: I'm using OO on Mac.

Thank..

Please do it manually.

Manually! Can't BASIC handle such things?

I'm sure OO BASIC can, but can you write the macro you need? If you make a reasonable attempt you will find good help when we see your code.

Global sTxtCString As String
 
Sub CopyToClipBoard( sText )
  Dim oClip, oTR
  ' create SystemClipboard instance
  oClip = CreateUnoService( _
      "com.sun.star.datatransfer.clipboard.SystemClipboard")
  oTR = createUnoListener("Tr_", _
      "com.sun.star.datatransfer.XTransferable")
  ' set data
  oClip.setContents( oTR,Null )
  sTxtCString = sText
  'oClip.flushClipboard() ' does not work
End Sub
 
Function Tr_getTransferData( _
    aFlavor as com.sun.star.datatransfer.DataFlavor)
  If (aFlavor.MimeType = "text/plain;charset=utf-16") Then
    Tr_getTransferData() = sTxtCString
  End If
End Function
 
Function Tr_getTransferDataFlavors()
  Dim aFlavor As new com.sun.star.datatransfer.DataFlavor
  aFlavor.MimeType = "text/plain;charset=utf-16"
  aFlavor.HumanPresentableName = "Unicode-Text"
  Tr_getTransferDataFlavors() = array( aFlavor )
End Function
 
Function Tr_isDataFlavorSupported( _
    aFlavor as com.sun.star.datatransfer.DataFlavor ) as Boolean
  If aFlavor.MimeType = "text/plain;charset=utf-16" Then
    Tr_isDataFlavorSupported = true
  Else
    Tr_isDataFlavorSupported = false
  End If
End Function
