TEFromScrap

Copy desk scrap to TextEdit scrap

#include <TextEdit.h> TextEdit

returns an Error Code; 0=no error

TEFromScrap copies the contents of the system (desk) scrap into the

TextEdit internal scrap (for use by TEPaste). This is not needed on

systems later than version 4.1, since the new TERec, obtained via a call to

TEStylNew now uses the desk scrap.

Returns: an operating system Error Code; 0 means no error.

Notes: Use TEFromScrap to access text from the desk scrap (e.g., if

a DA, or a previously- executed application put something there for you).

You may wish to call this soon after your application starts or as soon as you

get reactivated by MultiFinder. After calling, use TEGetScrapLen to find

out if you got anything.

Use TEToScrap for the opposite; i.e., store some previously Cut or Copied

TextEdit text into the desk scrap for retrieval by another program. Use

TEScrapHandle to access the TextEdit internal scrap directly.

This function is equivalent to calling GetScrap(...,'TEXT',...) and saving

the result in the global variable TEScrpHandle (though doing that is not

recommended).
