Hi,

There was an old thread with subject "Copy from MS Word --> paste into Wtk",
which showed almost the same problem a customer of us is facing now.

They are copying many lines from one source, not from Word, in fact it's
from another DISPLAY ARRAY of a different program in BDS. And then they need
to paste them in another INPUT ARRAY.

We cannot build a function to "pull" the data directly from the database,
because it could be from many sources (different programas, different
underlying tables, with different selection criteria). So the best way is to
query the data they need, with the corresponding program, copy it, and then
paste it on the destination window.

In character mode (FGLGUI=0) they can do it, but not in graphical mode
(FGLGUI=1).

The customer which reported this has just moved from I-4GL to BDS, so they
are anoyed about this kind of limitations.

And it has to be an INPUT ARRAY, it cannot be a TEXT with WORDWRAP, so ...
is there a work arround or solution for this ?

Thanks,

Florencia
