Cut and Paste from Screen Memo Field?

[xBaseDude]

Hey Fox Friends...

Why can't I Cut and Paste from a Screen Memo Field?.

I am displaying the text in a Edit object.

TIA and Regards - Wayne

The Menu shortcuts need to be enabled, so try adding the following to your main program:

** Enable Cut, Copy, Paste and Select All.
DEFINE POPUP EditKeys
DEFINE BAR _med_cut OF EditKeys ;
PROMPT "Cut" KEY CTRL+X,""
DEFINE BAR _med_copy OF EditKeys ;
PROMPT "Copy" KEY CTRL+C,""
DEFINE BAR _med_paste OF EditKeys ;
PROMPT "Paste" KEY CTRL+V,""
DEFINE BAR _med_slcta OF EditKeys ;
PROMPT "Select All" KEY CTRL+A,""

Note: Don't use any of these "hot" keys in your menu or forms, or they may not work.

If you don't use any of "hot keys in a menu or forms, then
are you suggesting putting this in the startup.prg or config.fpw, or where?

I assumed you were speaking of an application - just put in the "main" program of the project. If you are in the development environment, it should already work.

Just to verify, are you using FoxPro for DOS or FoxPro for Windows? Which version and update level? (e.g. FPD 2.5b, FPW 2.6a)
