Hi all~

I'm coding with Python GUI(ie Tkinter concisely) and i wonder whether we could get current OS' clipboard available, and event more, anyone can inspires me how we can achieve undo and redo function ?

many many thanx~

You could try this partial code (haven't tried it, not on my own box right now).

Code:

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
text=Text(root)
text.pack()
root.clipboard_clear()
root.clipboard_append('some string')
def paste(event):
    text.event_generate('<someevent>')
text.bind('<FocusIn>',paste)
root.mainloop()

Of course, note that the behaviour of the clipboard will most probably differ from one OS to the other.

hehe well i have a idea for a undo function.
-you would need a log file. ((undo and redo info))
-something to watch for the commands(IE. when you move something you would get the original directory and the new)
-a directory ((probably a file)) of commands and there assorted counter parts **i would use a dictionary ((dam sp))** load them up from the file in a particular format like move: <A> move <B> || <B> move <A>
this is needed in-case some one makes a new command or we for got something.

things i see that we could cover with the undo and re do command:
ovcorse move back, restore from trash can, delete a newly created file

the problem comes with the commands in the terminal you would need to look up and log before ... but that would be a bit tricky

?? what do you thing?

((self trained python coder but i don't know nothing about GUI where might ya learn?))

if you would like more info about this just say the word.

thanx i'll try that out. it is very strange that no comments on those 3 methods on Tkinter's online book
