TEPaste

Insert TextEdit scrap into edit record

#include <TextEdit.h> TextEdit

void TEPaste(hTE );

TEHandle hTE ; handle of an edit record

TEPaste copies the contents of the TextEdit scrap (or the desk scrap in

System 4.1+) into the edit record at the current insertion point. If a selection

range exists, it is replaced by the contents of the scrap. With a style-aware

edit record, you should use TEStylPaste if you want to apply style

formatting to the text.

hTE is a handle obtained via TENew (old style TextEdit record) or

TEStylNew (new style TextEdit record). It leads to a

variable-length TERec structure and identifies the edit record to be

affected by this change.

Notes: After the operation, the insertion point is positioned immediately to the

right of the last character of the inserted text. The text is redrawn if

necessary.

Use TEInsert or TEStylInsert to insert text from sources other than

the scrap.

With older systems, you may need to use TEFromScrap to copy the

system scrap into the TextEdit internal scrap and ZeroScrap and

TEToScrap for the reverse. Use TEScrapHandle to get direct access to

data in the TextEdit scrap. Newer systems use the desk scrap.
