Anyone already made something like that?
Need a button to paste the clipboard inside an edit box...
Should be possible with ruby.

inside FS or fron external to FS?
from FS to FS you can simple save the string in temporary file and recall it after.

Do they copy values to Windows clipboard, so that it can be used (paste) in separate app?
While standard keyboard CTRL+C and CTRL+V on selected text (in editboxes) work fine, there is no way to use right mouse context menu to copy/paste values. I wondered too, whether it's possible to get it in SM/FS.

Exactly what i need.
Because people should enter "data" in my plugins, that they copy from internet. (Code)
The fact is that while CTRL+C/V works fine people may not able to do this and get in trouble.
Since RMB menu doesn't work, i need to trigger a paste to and internal string from the clipboard.

I asked this question by purpose, to trigger right direction.

I'm don't think there is a way to use Windows clipboard via green prims in SM/FS.
There might be a way to do this indirectly, via external text file, that is in use by multiple applications at the same time. It would be like this. "Clipboard" = text file, and each application has access to it. "Copy" = save selected content to text file (i.e. rewrite the text file), "paste" = reload external text file. Thus - you could use Drop List control prim with RDo, to create "faked" context menu, and items would be associated with triggering system. Disadvantage is, that it must use external file to mediate, but the advantage - you can "copy/paste" in advanced ways (complex data, multiple snapshots).
But I suspect that ruby could handle it; though - I'm not sure.

the only confortable way is to make external application and use it with shell CMD
like this
http://huddledmasses.org/clipexe-and-th ... -pasteexe/i found a method to embed binary in FS, so when initialize the application o vst you can extract it, like a application utility.

Exactly my problem. Has anyone done it yet?!
