Richedit using win32, freezes when pasting to another program

[HitomiHoshino]

Hello!

I'm trying to learn how to code win32 style programming in freebasic. I'm making a wordpad like program using the richedit control. I was able to learn how to format text and paragraphs and save and load, but I don't think I'm handling the clipboard correctly. I can copy and paste from within the program but if I copy from my program and paste in another, that program freezes. I can copy from another program into mine.

I'm not sure what part of my code to share, I think I'm missing something.

Where can I learn how to handle the clipboard when using the richedit control?

Thanks

Hello
I know that there are far more better fb programmer than me
but in general you need to use sendmessage :
similar to this :

elseif uMsg = WM_COMMAND
select wparam
case 700 : SendMessage(hwnd,WM_CUT,0,0)
case 701 : SendMessage(hwnd,WM_COPY,0,0)
case 702 : SendMessage(hwnd,WM_PASTE,0,0)
case 703 : SendMessage(hwnd,EM_SETSEL ,0,-1)
end select

I do have that part, I have it like this:

Code: Select all

                                case IDM_Undo
					SendMessage(GetFocus(), WM_UNDO, 0, 0)

				case IDM_Cut
					SendMessage(GetFocus(), WM_CUT, 0, 0)

				case IDM_Copy
					SendMessage(GetFocus(), WM_COPY, 0, 0)

				case IDM_Paste
					SendMessage(GetFocus(), WM_PASTE, 0, 0)

				case IDM_Delete
					SendMessage(GetFocus(), WM_CLEAR, 0, 0)
					

The menus work okay as long as I'm in my program, but the issue is when I copy or cut from it and paste to Libreoffice or Wordpad. I can paste to my own program but only if it's the same one.

If I run another one it doesn't work going from one to another.

It does paste to notepad.

I think it has something to do with delay rendering, also the clipboard goes away when I close the program.

I haven't yet been able to understand how to deal with the delay rendering or if that is even the cause.

Aha i see you have problem when you copy and try to paste in another program
Maybe is problem in richedit version u use.
It is really hard to tell what might be wrong without whole code ?

[HitomiHoshino]

Here is the entire code.
I also have a resource file where I defined the dialogs, menus, and accellerator keys and a header file with the constants from the rc file.
I know there must be something missing.

Code: Select all

'to do
'error checking on save doesn't work
'paste from doesn't work - Render callbacks are not correct
'how to get rtf to string instead of file. (that might fix the save error checking)

Thanks on files Hitomi
So i try to compile on FB 1.09
so i include all
Rich.bi
Rich.rc

and again i get Compile Failure!

problem on my win7_64 bit :

\FreeBASIC-1.09.0-win64\FreeBASIC-1.09.0-win64\RichEditCopy.bas(25) warning 4(2): Suspicious pointer assignment

ofn structure is filled wrong
so now i am wondering how you can compile it ?
Do you duplicate include maybe ?

[aurelVZAB]

then i look into my old FBScin scintilla based editor example
and found different fileOpen structure is used
and heck new compiler complain about wrong scalar conversion
OMG

here is topic:

Code: Select all

while GetMessage(@msg, NULL, 0, 0)
	if TranslateAccelerator(win, hAccel, @msg) = 0 then
		IsDialogMessage(win, @msg)
	end if
wend

The problem is not processing the messages that are translated or that IsDialogMessage doesn't touch. Something like this is what's required:

Code: Select all

while GetMessage(@msg, NULL, 0, 0)
      dim as Long wasTranslated = TranslateAccelerator(win, hAccel, @msg)
      if IsDialogMessage(win, @msg) = 0 Then
            if wasTranslated = 0 Then TranslateMessage(@msg)
            DispatchMessage(@msg)
      end if
wend

I didn't get errors like that when I compiled it. I didn't have any warnings either.
The command I used is fbc -s gui rich.rc rich.bas

I've gotten that permission denied message if I was still running the program while compiling it again.

The version of freebasic I'm using should be the same as yours
FreeBASIC Compiler - Version 1.09.0 (2021-12-31), built for win64 (64bit)
Copyright (C) 2004-2021 The FreeBASIC development team.
standalone

I'm on Windows 10.

I also tried to build it in a windows XP virtual machine with the 32 bit version and that worked too.
Odd thing is when I try to paste images into it in that version it doesn't do anything, but on the windows 10 64 bit one it does allow me to paste images.

[aurelVZAB]

i use same compile arguments but on win7-64bit
