Copying into clipboard only with selecting with mouse

Post by jezisek »

Hi, is it possible to set XMouse Button Control to be able to copy text into windows clipboard (CTRL-C) automatically only with selecting (with left button) of text by mouse? This simple behaviour I am searching for. In past I used this SW on Windows XP which was perfect but in Windows 7 it is not working: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/nt/TXMouse/

no this is not possible. There are other programs that do this, but not XMBC I'm afraid.
Making a selection does not trigger any mouse messages, XMBC would need to hook into a completely different set of messages (to do with text selection) and that would cause rather a lot of extra effort and bloat!

Thanks,
Phil

Thanks Phil for your comment. I am searching such as this program for 2 day which will work in Windows 7 and I didn´t find it :-( If possible, send me the name of this program which works as I need. Thank you so much!

Sorry I was only making wild assumptions about the availability of such a program based on other peoples comments. It may well be that it was the one you found that does not work for Windows 7. I'll try and have a look, but my guess is that if you haven't found a win7 option them maybe I'm wrong and there isn't something quite so easy.
