----------------------------------- arun95 Mon Jan 17, 2011 4:58 pm how to do copying and pasting and also how to make a cursor ----------------------------------- What is it you are trying to achieve? I am trying to add a cursor and im trying to do a copy and paste because this is an exam. As my exam, I am doing a word processor What is the problem you are having? I am really confused on how to create a cursor and do copying and pasting. I want to do this with the keyboard not mouse. I REALLY need help because my exams due in about 2 days and I have no clue what I am doing Describe what you have tried to solve this problem Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) Please specify what version of Turing you are using ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jan 17, 2011 5:13 pm Re: how to do copying and pasting and also how to make a cursor ----------------------------------- ...this is an exam... Describe what you have tried to solve this problem ಠ_ಠ Perhaps the first step would be to use some simple word processor (a text field in a form such as this will do), and use it for a while, until you start getting ideas of what needs to be done. ----------------------------------- arun95 Mon Jan 17, 2011 5:18 pm Re: how to do copying and pasting and also how to make a cursor ----------------------------------- we're allowed to get help, and what do u mean ? ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jan 17, 2011 5:27 pm RE:how to do copying and pasting and also how to make a cursor ----------------------------------- You have existing applications available to them. Use them to figure out the steps that they do to perform the same action; then instead of bad questions such as "how do I do _everything_?" you can ask more specific questions, such as "Give that I've already selected N characters, how do I update the screen when I add the (N+1)th character to the selection?" (to which the naive answer is -- clear the screen and redraw everything) ----------------------------------- arun95 Mon Jan 17, 2011 5:28 pm Re: how to do copying and pasting and also how to make a cursor ----------------------------------- im really confused on how to draw the cursor on my program? i know it has to use maxcol, and maxrow but im not sure how to use it ----------------------------------- arun95 Mon Jan 17, 2011 5:46 pm RE:how to do copying and pasting and also how to make a cursor ----------------------------------- an example would be appreciated ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Jan 17, 2011 10:10 pm RE:how to do copying and pasting and also how to make a cursor ----------------------------------- There are some examples here -- [tdoc]Draw.FillBox[/tdoc]
