Copy text to clipboard from preview

JanEK

We are using the VLC for Delphi 2010 demo version and we are thinking about buying your components. But still there are some problems that we have to resolve, the major problem is how to let the user copy text from the report preview.
Is that implemented in your component or do you know a simple way of implementig it?

thx, Jan

procedure TForm1.frxReport1ClickObject(Sender: TfrxView;
  Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; var Modified: Boolean);
var MyClipboardFormat: Word;
    MyHandle: Cardinal;
    MyPalette: HPalette;
begin
     if Sender is TfrxPictureView then
       if Sender.Name = 'Picture1' then
         begin
           MyClipboardFormat := CF_BITMAP;
           TfrxPictureView(Sender).Picture.SaveToClipboardFormat(MyClipboardFormat, MyHandle, MyPalette );
           ClipBoard.SetAsHandle(MyClipboardFormat, MyHandle);
         end;
end;

i have found that solution before, i was hoping that there is a way to let the end-user, hightlight text in the preview and copy the highlighted text, not just the clicked object...

There are no such solution

Export and display the report as PDF and copy, paste and print from there works.

The answer is Yes, I did it, use a TMemoryStream.
Here is the code I used:

frxSimpleTextExport1.ShowDialog := false;
aStream := TMemoryStream.Create
 try
  frxSimpleTextExport1.Stream := aStream;
  frxReport1.Export(frxSimpleTextExport1);
  aStream.Position := 0;
  Memo1.Lines.LoadFromStream(aStream);
  Memo1.SelectAll;
  Memo1.CopyToClipboard;
 finally
  frxSimpleTextExport1.Stream := nil;
  FreeAndNil(aStream);
 end;
