DTEDITORPASTEFROMCLIPBOARD(3)

okay so this is the library call page for DtEditorPasteFromClipboard, bestie — literally the “insert the clipboard selection into a DtEditor widget” function. it’s giving paste-button energy but make it a C API ✨

💖 NAME 💖

DtEditorPasteFromClipboard — insert the clipboard selection into a DtEditor widget 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include &<Dt/Editor.h>
Boolean DtEditorPasteFromClipboard(
Widget widget);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The DtEditorPasteFromClipboard function inserts the clipboard selection before the insertion cursor of the DtEditor widget. no cap. if the insertion cursor is inside the current selection, the clipboard selection replaces the selected text — like it slides in and takes over 💅

Text can be cut or copied to the clipboard with DtEditorCutToClipboard(3) and DtEditorCopyToClipboard(3). Text can be selected and deselected programmatically with DtEditorSelectAll(3) and DtEditorDeselect(3). iykyk, all the selection besties are linked up 🎀

The widget argument specifies the DtEditor widget ID. yes bestie, that’s the widget handshake 🤝

For a complete definition of the DtEditor widget and its associated resources, see DtEditor(3). go read the main character’s page for the full lore 👑

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

Upon successful completion, the DtEditorPasteFromClipboard function returns True; otherwise, if the widget does not own the primary selection, the function returns False. so if it doesn’t own the primary selection, it’s a False era, periodt 💀
