I'm trying to use the copy/paste functionality inside of uifc for javascript

While WIN_CUT is available in C, it is not available in javascript

I see that there are two entires in uifc.h for 1<<17 which is WIN_CUT and WIN_HLP

Then in javascript, in uifcdefs.js, there is just the entry for WIN_HLP

When using WIN_HLP though, it enables the Cut option that I am looking for

It seems maybe this is a bug? Why are there two constants for 1<<17?

Not really a bug, just multiple "sources of truth" which tend to get out of sync over time.

The WIN_HLP mode flag is not used in UIFC/JS, so that's why I reused that bit for WIN_CUT. Now fixed in git.

Thanks, getting closer. Still trying to figure out how to read that they pressed ctrl-c/ctrl-v and how to handle. I ran into another inconsistency:

in the c file:
#define MSK_COPY 0x30000000
#define MSK_CUT 0x40000000
#define MSK_PASTE 0x50000000

in the js file:
const MSK_GET = 0x30000000;
const MSK_PUT = 0x40000000;
const MSK_EDIT = 0x50000000;

Here's how I am dealing with this weirdness, if it gives you any hints as to what is wrong in the source:

if (selection&MSK_GET) {
// actually put ctrl-x
selection ^= 0x50000000;
uifc.msg("You pasted into index " + selection);
} else if (selection&MSK_PUT) {
// actually get ctrl-v
selection ^= MSK_PUT;
uifc.msg("You copied from index " + selection);
}

The proper way (if it works, which I don't know has been confirmed in JS): would be like this:
if ((sleection & MSK_ON) == MSK_COPY) {
selection &= MSK_OFF;
uifc.msg("You copied from index" + seleection);
}
There have been issues in the past with JS numbers > 0x7fffffff, so it's possible there might be a hitch that needs to be resolved before it works 100% for you. Let me know how you fare,

I played around with JS uifc the copy/cut/paste mode flags and it seemed to work as expected. Here's a little test script I wrote, if it's of any help:

load("uifcdefs.js");
if(!uifc.init("Test app"))
exit(-1);
js.on_exit("uifc.bail()");
do {
var selection = uifc.list(WIN_CUT|WIN_COPY|WIN_PASTE, "test", ["one",
"two", "three"]);
uifc.msg(format("selection = %x", selection));
} while(selection != -1);

It works fine now for cut and paste, but I cannot get it to work for copy. It just never seems to match the MSK_COPY. I'll have to play around with it some more later

Seems to work for me. The test script I pasted, if you hit Ctrl-C while teh 3rd item is highlighted, it displays:
╔[■]═══════════════════╗
║ selection = 30000002 ║
╠══════════════════════╣
║ │OK ║
╚══════════════════════╝

And MSK_COPY is 0x30000000 and the 3rd option index is 2. So that makes perfect sense.

Thanks for your help digital man, I was able to get it working now. Still lots to do but I hope to have something cool to show you all soon
