#### Create the copy button and assign callback
#### Create the copy button and assign callback
copyClipInput = gtk.Button(label='Copy Text')
copyClipInput = gtk.Button(label='Copy Text')
copyClipInput.connect("clicked", self._copyClipInput_cb, None) # CALLBACK USED WHEN COPY BUTTON PRESSED!
button_row.pack_start(copyClipInput, expand=False, fill=False)
button_row.pack_start(copyClipInput, expand=False, fill=False)
#### Create the paste button and assign callback
#### Create the paste button and assign callback
pasteClipInput = gtk.Button(label='Paste Text')
pasteClipInput = gtk.Button(label='Paste Text')
pasteClipInput.connect("clicked", self._pasteClipInput_cb, None) # CALLBACK USED WHEN PASTE BUTTON PRESSED!
#### Put everything together in the UI
#### Put everything together in the UI
button_row.pack_start(copyClipInput, expand=False, fill=False)
button_row.pack_start(copyClipInput, expand=False, fill=False)
first_page.pack_start(gtk.Label(''), expand=True, fill=True) #for appearance purposes
first_page.pack_start(gtk.Label(''), expand=True, fill=True) #for appearance purposes
#### Method: _copyClipInput_cb, which is called when the "Copy Text" button is clicked
def _copyClipInput_cb(self, widget, data=None):
#Select all text in self.copyClipInput and copy it to the clipboard
self.clipInput.select_region(0, -1)
self.clipInput.cut_clipboard()
_logger.debug("$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Copy button pressed")
#### Method: _pasteClipInput_cb, which is called when the "Paste Text" button is clicked
def _pasteClipInput_cb(self, widget, data=None):
self.clipInput.paste_clipboard()
_logger.debug("******************* Paste button pressed.")
</pre>
</pre>
Note that when you cut or copy text programmatically, you must first select a region in the widget. That is why we have the call to select_region() in the _copyClipInput_cb method. The -1 argument ensures that all text in the widget is selected. <ref>[http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtkeditable.html#method-gtkeditable--select-region]</ref>
