Clipboard Button
Allows the contents of a targeted control to be copied to the clients clipboard on any device.
The Clipboard button displays a button that allows content from another Form Control to be copied.
The content you want the user to be able to copy is set in the Target Control Name property.
The format of the return value will depend on the Control result being copied. Notably, Data Tables will be copied in a TAB delimited format that will allow users to copy the value into Microsoft Excel for example.
The Selected Row data, along with headers will be copied when targeting a Data Table control.
All other controls will copy the Return value.
The Clipboard button has two properties which allow the Project Administrator to give feedback to users:
- Text (Error) will display if the copy fails
- Text (Success) will display once the result is correctly copied to the clients clipboard.
The Clipboard control supports the following Controls:
- Check Box
- Check Box Group
- Combo Box
- Data Table
- Date Picker
- List Box
- Numeric Text Box
- Slider
- Spin Button
- Text Box
- TinyMCE Control
- Toggle Switch
- Measurement Text Box
- Option Group
Please Note
The control must be rendered on the current Form and enabled to allow content to be copied from it.
DriveWorks Live
A secured HTTPS connection should be used in DriveWorks Live to ensure that the value can be copied to the devices clipboard without error.
