VVX - Embedded List Copy to Clipboard
We've recently run into a few installs where users who previously had WebX utilized the copy to clipboard function that existed on the bottom right corner of the embedded list. Upon going to VVX they've lost this ability since the native list in ViewX for some reason does not have this capability.
We've scripted a copy to clipboard function in the past that uses the cmd clip function, but that doesn't seem to function in VVX. I've since resorted to one of two workarounds --
1) Have a button open the query in a native ViewX list that they can then ctrl+c on.
2) Change the functionality altogether to export the data to a CSV which is then downloaded to the client.
Both of these work, but users have commented that this loss of functionality caused a bit of grief.
There's another thread in these forums that myself or maybe Dustin Symes had made about a modernized embedded list object. I think this would be the most ideal time to consider something like that, where copy to clipboard is native to it along with some other features like inline grouping and filtering.
