TWebBrowser cannot copy/paste ! 1

[Rockafella]

Hi,

It seems that when using a TWebBrowser component to view
a web page, you cannot select any test on the web page to
copy and then paste elsewhere.

I'm using D6.1 and Win2000. IE6 installed.
Has anyone got any ideas why?

i think there is a way,

it is to do with the webbrowser1.execvb(somethinggoeshere);

if u have visual basic, put a web browser control on it, and just double click on the form, then type this in until the drop down menu pops up

webbrowser1.execvb(and something should comeup for cut_TEXT or somehting like that)

sorry i dont have code with me or vb rite now to check

I had a look in VB and
webbrowser1.execWB is the function.

But I dont understand why it is necesary to do this,
as the component should handle it.
It works correctly under VB: I add the Webbrowser component
to the form and then navigate it to say "

http://www.borland.com"

I can the select text with the mouse and right click with the mouse and choose "COPY" from the drop down menu.
I can then paste the text into where ever.

I Delphi it all works the same until I choose to paste.
Then it appears that nothing was copied.

What seems to be the problem with Delphi?

there is a way to do it, have a look in the visual basic source code websitess, and search for web browser code, and study it, then just change it do delphi, i no it works, cut copy and paste, cuz i made a web browser tool once, if ur still stuck, get bak to me, ill see wot i can do.

thnx, I'll keep looking.

From what I have picked up on

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Delphi/Q_20132735.html

is that is seems that the TWebBrowser has a few issues they still havent sorted out.

I have found a solution to my problem on:

http://members.shaw.ca/iedelphi/webbrowser.htm#basics4

all that was required was:
uses ActiveX;

and then at the bottom of the Unit:
initialization
OleInitialize(nil);

finalization
OleUninitialize;

YES YES NOW I HAVE THE ANSWER, it was sendkeys i used and it worked great, all it did was something like this

webbrowser1.setfocus;

umm, then i forgot the sendkeys code, o well, i no it was sendkeys to do most of the cut copy paste etc. features for the web browser, it was quick and easy.

the methods above work well too, but i lost my delphi source code,

neway, i hope this answers all ur questions lol, sorry if i am late, i have been workin on a major project. well, cv ya all latear
