Description
Adds text to the clipboard.This function allows on macOS to put multiple things on the clipboard, like both a text representation and a xml one.
So if user pastes to a text editor, they get the text editor, but if they paste into your app, you can get back the xml.
Examples
Add two text things and query back:
# set
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "Clipboard.SetText"; "Hello World" ) ]
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "Clipboard.AddText"; "{\"text\": \"Hello World\", \"RowID\": 123 }"; "JSON" ) ]
# query
Set Variable [ $$json ; Value: MBS( "Clipboard.GetText"; "JSON") ]
Set Variable [ $$text ; Value: MBS( "Clipboard.GetText"; "") ]
Add both xml and text to clipbord:
# put script step on clipboard
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "Clipboard.SetFileMakerData"; "auto"; "<fmxmlsnippet type=\"FMObjectList\"><Step enable=\"True\" id=\"62\" name=\"Pause/Resume Script\"><PauseTime value=\"ForDuration\"></PauseTime><Calculation><![CDATA[1]]></Calculation></Step></fmxmlsnippet>" ) ]
# and a text for Text editors
Set Variable [ $r ; Value: MBS( "Clipboard.AddText"; "Pause/Resume Script [ Duration (seconds): 1 ]"; "" ) ]
# now you can paste in code editor
