Copy/paste without using the clipboard

[martindholmes]

Hi there,

I need to move some data from one TRichViewEdit to another -- actually, I'm inserting the entire contents of one TRVE into the cursor position of the other. The simplest way to do this would be using copy/paste via the clipboard, but I don't want to do that because that will replace the previous contents of the clipboard without the user's permission.

Does anyone have any suggestions for moving data between two TRichViewEdits without using the clipboard?

All help appreciated,
Martin

If I am not mistaken, you can insert file from stream. Age have blurred my memory

I think you could use this:

var
AStream: TMemoryStream;
begin
AStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
RichViewEdit1.SaveRVFToStream(AStream, True); // Copy the Selection into Stream
AStream.Position:=0;
RichViewEdit2.InsertRVFFromStream(AStream);
RichViewEdit2.Format;
end;

I type the code in editor. may be it need some changes in method names

If you need to copy the entire RichViewEdit1, call SaveRVFToStream with the last parameter = False.
To insert in the position of caret, use InsertRVFFromStreamEd. Do not call Format. Format is necessary after LoadRVFFromStream or InsertRVFFromStream, but not needed after InsertRVFFromStreamEd.

That's just what I need. Many thanks!
