Description

Sets the text on the clipboard.

For server this will modify the clipboard of the user account running the server app on the server computer and not the clipboard of any client.

On Windows you may want to use Text.ReplaceNewline first to convert line endings. FileMaker on Windows uses Mac line endings internally.

If called on WebDirect, the plugin puts text on the clipboard for the server, not for the client! So the functions are of no use on server.

Examples

Sets text:

MBS( "Clipboard.SetText"; "Hello World" )
