Hi,
I am sree aurovindh and I am trying to create a new addon.I have two questions.
1) Getting the contents of the text that is typed in textpad.(Is it possible?)
2) Is it possible to write a Java program that can do that and which could be added as an addon to text pad.
Kindly suggest
Thanks
Sree aurovindh V

Hi Sree
1) I and a number of other users have tried to find a way to do this. Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, none has succeeded. (I would be delighted to hear of a solution to this problem.) Therefore, apparently,
2) No.
It is, however, possible to pass the current selection to a user-defined tool, but not more than a single line. Look in the help under Reference Information | Tool Parameter Macros. The clipboard is also available to a user-defined tool. But neither access to just a single line nor access to the clipboard provides users with sufficient power to write usable non-trivial add-ons.
Sorry!
