Syntax object.ReadQuickText Row, Column, ReadOption

 

Description

Quick text is a feature of Reflection that lets you manipulate text in the terminal window. This method copies the data at the specified coordinates to the quick text buffer; use WriteQuickText to send the text in the quick text buffer, along with a specified terminal key, to the command prompt in the terminal window.

Arguments

Row Argument type: Integer
The row location of the data to copy. You can use rcMouseRow to specify the row where the mouse was last clicked.

Column Argument type: Integer
The column location of the data to copy. You can use rcMouseCol to specify the column where the mouse was last clicked.

ReadOption Argument type: Enumeration
The type of data to copy. The values are:

 rcWord

 Specifies that all text from the specified row and column coordinates back to the first blank space, and from the coordinates forward to the first blank space, is copied to the quick text buffer.

 rcNumber

 Specifies that Reflection scans backward from the specified coordinates for a blank space followed by a number. If it finds this combination, it copies the number to the quick text buffer. If Reflection cannot find a blank space followed by a number to the left of the column location on the specified row, nothing is copied to the quick text buffer.

 rcBestForSessionType

 This value is equivalent to rcWord when the SessionType property is set to rc3270Terminal, and to rcNumber when SessionType is rc5250Terminal.
