Generic Functions

Summary

Implements "edit/select operations" and the associated predicates for the active pane.

Signature

pane-interface-copy-object pane interface => object , string , plist

pane-interface-copy-p pane interface

pane-interface-cut-object pane interface

pane-interface-cut-p pane interface

pane-interface-deselect-all pane interface

pane-interface-deselect-all-p pane interface

pane-interface-paste-object pane interface

pane-interface-paste-p pane interface

pane-interface-select-all pane interface

pane-interface-select-all-p pane interface

pane-interface-undo pane interface

pane-interface-undo-p pane interface

Description

The active pane "edit/select operations" call these generic functions when the active pane does not specify how to perform the operation. Do not call these directly.

interface is the top level interface of the pane. The predicate functions (those with names ending with -p) should return true if the operation can be performed. The other functions should perform the operations.

You can implement your own methods specializing on pane and interface classes.

Notes

1. These generic functions should not display a dialog or do anything that may cause the system to hang. In general this means interacting with anything outside the Lisp image, including files, databases and so on.
2. The three return values of pane-interface-copy-object are passed to set-clipboard.
