[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Make copy paste possible from a styledTe

["Paul T. Keyser" <rolarenfan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You also have to add a popup-menu that handles the cases you want to handle:
    protected void createPopupMenu () {
        final Control c = getControl(); // the StyledText, e.g., or a regular
Text
        final Menu noteMenu = new Menu(c);
        c.setMenu(noteMenu);

        final MenuItem copy = new MenuItem(noteMenu, SWT.NONE);
        copy.setText("&Copy");
        copy.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
            public void widgetSelected (SelectionEvent e) {
                doCopy();
            }
        });

        final MenuItem cut = new MenuItem(noteMenu, SWT.NONE);
        cut.setText("Cu&t");
        cut.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
            public void widgetSelected (SelectionEvent e) {
                doCut();
            }
        });

        final MenuItem paste = new MenuItem(noteMenu, SWT.NONE);
        paste.setText("&Paste");
        paste.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
            public void widgetSelected (SelectionEvent e) {
                doPaste();
            }
        });

        final MenuItem all = new MenuItem(noteMenu, SWT.NONE);
        all.setText("Select &All");
        all.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
            public void widgetSelected (SelectionEvent e) {
                doSelectAll();
            }
        });
    }

and then in the doFoo() methods, do this sort of thing:
    protected void doCopy () {
        _styledText.copy();
    }

I dunno how to get the accelerators (Ctrl-C etc.) to work ...
