Java Forum / GUI / May 2004JTextArea copy/paste
I have discovered that JTextAreas behave differently from TextAreas. You can select text, but when you hit Ctrl-C nothing happens. You can't copy the selection to the clipboard. I'm in an unsigned JApplet so I can't poke the clipboard myself.  SignatureCanadian Mind Products, Roedy Green. Coaching, problem solving, economical contract programming.

One of the reasons I prefer AWT for applets like this. <http://www.physci.org/pc/properties.jsp> You can copy (^c) the text of any of the fields using either MSVM or Sun 1.4.2 JRE.

I tried changing my component from a JTextArea to a TextArea but left everything else as Swing. Ctrl-C still did not work. I can select but not copy. This is in an unsigned Applet.

I have been reading up on what you have to do to make Ctrl-C Ctrl-V work normally in a Signed applet. barf! Get real Sun. SignatureCanadian Mind Products, Roedy Green.

As you're talking about an *unsigned* applet: probably the Java sandbox prevents access to the system clipboard. Using 'policytool' of the JRE, you could add "AWTPermission" "accessClipboard" to grant the applet permission to access the clipboard.

The code in question is the JDisplay Applet which I use for displaying/downloading source code on my website. I think my only option at this point is to revert to AWT and live with the extra scrollbars I don't need. see http://mindprod.com/projects/javapresenter.html http://mindprod.com/jgloss/wildapplet.html SignatureCanadian Mind Products, Roedy Green.
