Result

Returns OK or error.

Description

Copies current text selection to clipboard.
This is like choosing the menu command to copy, but without using the menu.
See also Clipboard.GetStyledText.

As webviewer functions often run asynchronously, you need to make a short script pause to let the webviewer do the job.

For Windows this function is only supported in FileMaker Pro when using Internet Explorer as engine behind the Web Viewer, but not when Microsoft Edge/Chrome engine is used.

Examples

Select all and copy:

MBS( "WebView.SelectAll"; "web" ) & MBS( "WebView.Copy"; "web" )
