  1. The GET_CLIPBOARD built-in procedure returns a copy of the text stored in the clipboard. Only data of type string can be retrieved from the clipboard. Any other data type causes DECTPU to signal an error.
  2. The WRITE_CLIPBOARD built-in procedure stores data in the clipboard. The first parameter lets you specify the label for this data. However, the clipboard currently supports only one entry at a time, so you can use any string for the first parameter.

A.3 Testing and Returning a Select Range

The code fragment in Example A-3 shows how a layered application can use GET_GLOBAL_SELECT. This code fragment is based on the EVE procedure EVE$SELECTION. The original version is in SYS$EXAMPLES:EVE$CORE.TPU.

The procedure EVE$SELECTION returns a select range, found range, or global selection for use with EVE commands that operate on the select range.

This example uses the following global variables and procedures from EVE:

Example A-3 EVE Procedure That Returns a Select Range 

PROCEDURE eve$selection (

  1. With DECwindows, you can designate more than one global selection. The two most common global selections are the primary and secondary selections. A global selection can be owned by only one DECwindows application at a time.
    The GET_GLOBAL_SELECT built-in returns the data for the requested selection in the requested format. If the requested selection is not currently owned by any application, or if the owner cannot return it in the requested format, then GET_GLOBAL_SELECT returns TPU$K_UNSPECIFIED.
    If the selected information contains multiple records, the records are separated by the line-feed character (ASCII (10)).

A.4 Handling Callbacks from a Scroll Bar Widget

Example A-4 shows one of the ways an application can get values for widget resources. The procedure is based on the EVE procedure eve$scroll_dispatch. The original version is in SYS$EXAMPLES:EVE$DECWINDOWS.TPU.

The procedure eve$scroll_dispatch is the callback routine that handles callbacks from scroll bar widgets. The portion of the procedure shown here determines where to position the editing point based on how you have changed the scroll bar slider. The procedure fetches the position of the slider with the built-in GET_INFO (widget_variable, "widget_info") and positions the editing point to the line in the buffer equivalent to the slider's position in the scroll bar. For more information about the resource names used with the scroll bar widget, see the VMS DECwindows Toolkit Routines Reference Manual.

EVE uses the following constants in this procedure:

Example A-4 EVE Procedure That Handles Callbacks from a Scroll Bar Widget 

 
PROCEDURE eve$scroll_dispatch 
LOCAL   status, 
        widget_called,          
        widget_tag, 
        widget_reason,                             
        scroll_bar_values, 
        linenum, 
        temp_array, 
           .

        ABORT; 
ENDON_ERROR

widget_called := temp_array {"widget; 
widget_tag := temp_array {"closure"}; 
widget_reason := temp_array {"reason_code"}; 
 
POSITION (eve$$scroll_bar_window {widget_called}); 
   .

           IF (scroll_bar_values {"value"} = 
               scroll_bar_values {"minimum"}) 
           THEN 
               POSITION (beginning_of (current_buffer)); 
           ELSE 
(3)               POSITION (scroll_bar_values {"value"}); 
                                                                
            ENDIF; 
                   . 
                   . 
                   . 
ENDCASE; 
!      .                                           
!      .                                           
!      .                                           
 
ENDPROCEDURE;

  1. GET_INFO (WIDGET, "callback_parameters", array) returns an array that contains the values for the current callback. The array elements are indexed by the strings "widget", "closure", and "reason_code" that reference the widget that is calling back, the widget's closure value, and the reason code for the callback.
  2. With GET_INFO (WIDGET, "widget_info", array), you can fetch information from a widget. The array parameter is indexed by the resource names associated with the specified widget. Resource names are case sensitive and the set of supported resources varies from one widget type to another. When you use GET_INFO (widget, "widget_info", array), DECTPU queries the widget for the requested information and puts the returned information in the array elements. Any previous values in the array are lost.
  3. With POSITION (integer), you can move the editing point to the record specified by the parameter integer. DECTPU interprets this parameter as a record number.

A.5 Reactivating a Select Range

Example A-5 shows one of the ways an application can use the SET (GLOBAL_SELECT) built-in. The procedure is based on the EVE procedure EVE$RESTORE_PRIMARY_SELECTION. The original version is in SYS$EXAMPLES:EVE$MOUSE.TPU.

The procedure eve$restore_primary_selection reactivates EVE's select range when you press the Ctrl/Shift/E4 key. The select range was deactivated when EVE lost the primary selection to another DECwindows application.

Example A-5 EVE Procedure That Reactivates a Select Range

ENDON_ERROR; 
 
 
IF NOT eve$x_decwindows_active 
THEN 
    RETURN (FALSE); 
ENDIF; 
 
saved_position := MARK (FREE_CURSOR); 
 
IF GET_INFO (eve$$x_save_select_array, "type") = ARRAY 
THEN 
    CASE eve$$x_save_select_array {"type"} 
        [RANGE]: 
            eve$select_a_range (eve$$x_save_select_array {"start"}, 
                                eve$$x_save_select_array {"end"}); 
            eve$$x_state_array {eve$$k_select_all_active} := 
                                                        eve$$x_save_select_array 
                                                             {"select_all"}; 
            POSITION (eve$$x_save_select_array {"current"}); 
            eve$start_pending_delete;           
        [MARKER]: 
            POSITION (eve$$x_save_select_array {"start"}); 
            eve$x_select_position := select (eve$x_highlighting);

            RETURN (FALSE); 
    ENDCASE;

    UPDATE (current_window); 
 
    SET (GLOBAL_SELECT, SCREEN, PRIMARY);  ! This statement 
                                           ! requests ownership of

    RETURN (TRUE); 
ENDIF; 
RETURN (FALSE); 
 
ENDPROCEDURE;

A.6 Copying Selected Material from EVE to Another DECwindows Application

Example A-6 shows one of the ways a layered application can use the WRITE_GLOBAL_SELECT built-in. The procedure is based on the EVE procedure EVE$WRITE_GLOBAL_SELECT. The original version is in SYS$EXAMPLES:EVE$MOUSE.TPU.

The procedure implements the operation of copying selected material from DECwindows EVE to another DECwindows application.

The procedure determines what property of the primary global selection is being requested, gets the value of the appropriate property by using a GET_INFO statement or an EVE procedure, and sends the information to the requesting application.

Example A-6 EVE Procedure That Implements COPY SELECTION 

PROCEDURE eve$write_global_select        ! EVE uses this procedure 
                                         ! to respond to requests 
                                         ! for information about 
                                         ! selections.
