[automation]What's in the clipboard if we copy a field?

[Zhu Lihua-2]

Hi,

If I copy a Object, such as a field or a frame with text, what's in the clipboard? Do the texts in the field or the frame exist in the clipboard? Do they exists in some special way? I can't paste just the text in usual ways.

And because of the same reason I think, the following scripts in the "w_field1.inc" doesn't work. We always get warning "subject isn't correct !".


[quote]  
testcase tFields_5
  Dim sSubject  as  String
  sSubject = "This is a Subject"
  printlog "Insert / Fields / Subject"
 '/// <b> Insert / Fields / Subject </b>
  Call hNewDocument
  '/// File / Properties / Description , input some
  '/// + text in Subject
   Call fFileProperties("TabBeschreibung")
     Thema.Settext sSubject
   TabBeschreibung.OK
  '/// Insert / Fields / Subject
   InsertFieldsSubject
  '/// Check if the subject is correct
   Call wTypeKeys "<Shift Left>"
   EditCopy
   if GetClipboardText <> sSubject then
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^--------->This compare does not work, I wonder what's in the clipboard.
       Warnlog "Subject isn't correct !"
   end if
 Call hCloseDocument
endcase
[/quote]

Thank you!

Best regards,
Lihua

Hi Zhu Lihua,

you're right - that test does currently not work.
Issue: i85766

I'm working on updating all tests in the Optional-category.

Ps. If you copy an object, the whole object gets into the clipboard.
If you only want the text, you'll have to bring up the properties for the
Object, select the text you want, and from there copy it.

With some Objects (such as Fields) it _should_ be possible to paste the
text
from the object outside the office - as text - not as the whole object.
This is because "Fields" is actually not an "Object" but an "Text-Element".

What's wrong with simply copying, then using the "Paste Special" command,
deselect everything except text (Haven't tried it since OO.o 2.3.x, so it
might have changed - doubtful though).

Hi Alex,

not sure I understand you right. But the Testtool doesn't have a "Paste
special"-feature,
and when I try to "paste special" with for instance Wordpad (WinXP) - I
get the same
result as when I try to paste within Testtool, or some Editor: either
nothing, or the editor
simply jumps down a line - leaving the first one empty.

Best wishes

Sorry, my bad. I forgot you were using the testool. For normal use, the option
is under the Edit menu. Probably only available when you're actually working
on something. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to be able to use it in the
automated environment though.

To check whether it does what you need, you'd have to use it manually.

No problem. The Testtool should be able to do whatever one can do manually,
which is also the case with "EditCopy", "EditPaste", "EditPasteSpecial"
etc.

Those commands triggers the same functions the user manually triggers.
Same thing. Only different ways to do it.

Hi Fredrik and Alex,
Sorry for the late reply, since I'm just back from National Day vacation.

Thanks for the discussion.

I've read i85766. There is a term named "Expand". I don't know much about it. Could you please give me some hint for "expand"?

Thank you!




Best regards,
Lihua
