Since I use my own menus, I had to create my own Edit menu. Here is the text of
the edit menu and the scripting. This is actually a behavior I assign to all my
Edit menu buttons. Replace the value for cHomeStack with the name of your own
home stack. Note that you can add additional menu items to the text of the
menu, then add a customMenuPick handler to the actual button script to process
them.
Cu&t/x
&Copy/c
&Paste/v
C&lear/b
Select &All/a

Settings...
constant cHomeStack = "Forms Generator"
on menuPick pItem
put homeStack() into tMainStack
put the selectedChunk into tChunk
put value(tChunk) into tText
put word -2 to -1 of tChunk into tTarget
put the selectedObject into tRealTarget
if word 1 of tTarget is "field" then
put (the traversalOn of tTarget) and not (the locktext of tTarget) into
tAllowEdits
end if
switch pItem
case "Cut"
if tText is not empty then \
set the clipboardData ["text"] to tText
if tAllowEdits then
put "put empty into" && tChunk into tCommand
do tCommand
end if
break
case "Copy"
if tText is not empty then \
set the clipboardData ["text"] to tText
break
case "Paste"
if tAllowEdits and the clipboardData ["text"] is not empty then \
put "put the clipboardData [text] into" && tChunk into tCommand
do tCommand
break
case "Clear"
if tAllowEdits then \
put "put empty into" && tChunk into tCommand
do tCommand
break
case "Select All"
try
select char 1 to -1 of tTarget
end try
break
case "Find"
if there is a field "FindBar" then focus on field "FindBar"
exit to top

case "Settings..."
if there is a card "Settings" of stack me then
go card "Settings" of stack me

go card "Settings" of stack homeStack()
