With a simple terminal emulator you can just copy and screen (with data) and then paste it into any other pc-application. How come the proiv gui client does not allow this. Or if it does, how?

Hi,
Seems to work for me...
If you go to a field and press CTRL-C (or go to the App menu Edit/Copy) it will copy the selected text to the clipboard.
You can then CTRL-V in another app to paste it.

Hi Josef,
We too use this feature of the GUI client all the time using CTRL-C and CTRL-V.
Either from one Pro-IV session to another, inbetween applictions in the same session, and to/from other windows applications. It's neat, and is a real boost to our users.
As long as the cursor is on the field, it should copy/paste ok.

But you can't highlight areas and then copy, on paging screen in lookup mode presssing control c
copies only the current field, there's got to be a way to highlight an area, lets say the columns on a paging screen (even display only fields) and copy them.

oh... right. I see what you mean now.
We can't do that either
It would be useful if we could though.

my var told me that version 5.5 has enhanced features for paging screens and integration to windows, now I see it has even less than a regular telnet session in text can do, this drives me crazy, sometimes I am just so disappointed, looks like the guys that design this stuff do not need to actually use their product.

You can press the Windows Print Screen key to copy a bitmap of the screen to the Windows Clipboard and from there paste it to any windows application that accepts bitmaps. We typically use this in along with a Print Screen utility to only capture the current applicaiton. Print Screen utility

This can be done under version 5.5 using the cycle property .AllowSelection. If this is TRUE then you can select multiple fields in a paging screen and paste them to other documents.
The down side to this is that when this is enabled, delete mode works differently - pressing F7 will delete the record at the current line,
you can no longer enter delete mode, select a group of records and F3 to accept.

Josef,
You should be looking at the smooth paging feature in 5.5 by using the scroll type standard, allow selection and
highlight properties. You will be able to select a range or colums/rows and copy to the clipboard.
Additioanlly by setting the application.RightClickMenus property you will be able to action all this with the mouse.
The clipboard contents are compatible with MS Excel and can be pasted direct to a spreadsheet.
N.B the next release of Kernel/Client has some fixes in the smooth page area mainly around the scroll bar navigation.
This should be released soon - post QA etc

which terminal emulator do you use?
in any case, try using PUTTY .
press the the left button , highlight the text and it is copied.
with a 3-button mouse the middle one pastes.
atleast thats the way we've used putty for years.
to get putty, google 'putty download' . save it to desktop.
let me know if you need help configuring it.

I use vt320 as telnet client. Now with the proiv-gui I did not change the client, it says TTelnet in the piv file. Yes I could use some help with the configuration, I do not mind installing putty on my machine.

I think there was a gui object (like combobox) called notepad ? I know our dev team looked into the issue awhile ago; since there was no user request for a solution at the
time, we just resorted to using the green screen for pasting or one-line-at-a-time via gui.
