Miscellaneous Functions

These functions are used for special interactions with the Graphics Builder; for example, an external drag-and-drop action could be performed by requesting the active window handle.

Copies the selected object(s) to the Windows Clipboard.

ClipboardCut

Cuts the selected object(s) to the Windows Clipboard.

ClipboardPaste

ConvertToBitmap

Converts the active object to a bitmap. Unable to convert if no active object.

Quit

SelectionEventEnabled

Writing a true value with this function enables an event to be fired for every selection performed on a graphics page. You can also use this function to retrieve the current setting for this option.
