Copy problem in VT100 (wodSSH / wodSSH.NET)

by vbiggar, Thursday, June 08, 2006, 11:18 (6541 days ago)

When I copy from the OCX VT100 using the menu I get:


Missing Cards: 1LMASM

I don't think this was a problem when I was using the selectedtext property. I can't use selected text as you know because the text that is in the buffer won't copy. Can someone look into this and see if anything can be done?

Odly enough I lost my formatting when I posted this the same way it is lost when using the copy option from the menu.

Anyways this output had multiple columns aligned. Now the data is bunched together.

Hi Vincent,

We talking about last version, which fixed, right?
How can I duplicate this? I tried this but alignment works fine.
Can you prepare some small sample which can duplicate that and send it to techsupport@weonlydo.com

Maybe you can try to connect to our server and check this?
I'm asking this because this can be problem form servers side, which I cannot duplicate. I mean, maybe I cannot duplicate this because we have different server then yours.

Regards,
Alan

Ok I wrote the following using the selected text:

Private Sub mnutermCopySub()

Dim aa As String

On Error Resume Next

aa = Mid(wod1.SelectedText, 1, Len(wod1.SelectedText) - 2)
'MsgBox aa

' Copy selected text to Clipboard.
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText aa

clipviewer.Text = Clipboard.GetText()

End Sub

This copies the text in the proper format.

I'm posting this from the SelectedText capture. I'm not sure if it will format right when I post it or not.

Looks like the spaces are being removed when I post a message to the forum.

Hi Vincent,

You should try inserting code like this before Connect Method:

------------------------
telnet1.StripANSI = True
------------------------

If the problem persists, contact us.

The stripansi = true makes a real mess of things on VT 100 but it is an interesting option and may be useful in the future.

I think this is what your copy option is doing where the selected text option is not. The whole purpose of using VT100 is to have the formatting and to allow for the screen refesh of data.

When I do a copy I want the ansi data and the column formatting. Anyone using VT100 would want it also. I will find a VT100 terminal on the web that you can connect to test against.

I will use the selectedtext until you we resolve this. I will try to get another menu option appended to your menu.

Hi Vincent,


It would be best if you can provide us access to some server where we can test your problem.
Please send private information to techsupport@weonlydo.com.

Hope I helped.

I don't have a server you can have access to. I tried to find a vt100 test server but I was unable to find anything. I will try to find a Unix/Linux command that sets up the VT100 formatting. There are some VT100 test environments that can be installed to a Linux server.

This much I can tell you: The copy works fine with the SelectedText property but doesn't when you use the built in COPY option from the OCX menu. What I do to work around this problem is I set up a seperate menu option for VT100 that uses the SelectedText.

Here is the code:


'############# popup menu items ############

Dim hMenu As Long, hSubMenu As Long

Private Declare Function AppendMenu Lib User32 Alias AppendMenuA (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long, ByVal wIDNewItem As Long, ByVal lpNewItem As String) As Long

'#############################################

Private Sub Form_Load()

hMenu = wod1.ContextMenu
AppendMenu hMenu, 0, 32770, VT100 Copy
AppendMenu hMenu, 0, 32768, Commands

End Sub

'##################################################

Private Sub wod1_MenuClick(ByVal ID As Long)

Dim aa As String

Dim frmComm As frmcommander

On Error Resume Next

'This code removes the extra VBCRLF and copies the selected text to the clipboard
'without loosing the VT100 formatting

If ID = 32770 Then
aa = Mid(wod1.SelectedText, 1, Len(wod1.SelectedText) - 2)

' Copy selected text to Clipboard.
Clipboard.Clear
Clipboard.SetText aa

End If


'This is another menu option I added which opens a form

If ID = 32768 Then

stringdata = Clipboard.GetText()

Set frmComm = New frmcommander
frmComm.Show

End If
End Sub

Hi Vincent,

I can't seem to get this duplicated. I get the same output wether if i do Copy & Paste or use SelectedText Property.

Can you send us screenshot so we can see exactly what your output looks like?

Vincent,

we got the picture - i see the problem now.

But.. I don't see how it can happen with wodTelnetDLX - we never remove spaces, especially between text itself.

Your picture looks to me like it was shown in IE's browser, which would remove spaces. Possible?

Can I get your application (I don't thikn I need source) so I can run with wodTelnetDLX in debug mode to duplicate your problems?

I couldn't send you the program I'm running because you wouldn't have the directory structure needed. So I modified the sample code and made a screen capture with an exaple pasted into note pad.

The executable is in the zip folder as well. I think its called Project1.exe.
