how to paste text into a field

[Nissim]

Hi,

I have some data external to FM into the clipboard.

I need to paste this data (text) into a temp field for parsing it.

the problem is to paste text into field , I must go to the layout and pasting it there into the field.

I need a function like SetField(Temp,Clipboard)

(SetField don't request that the field is into the current layout)

Any help ?

I suppose you could this with Applescript, but what's wrong with:

Freeze Window

Go to Layout [ "layout with Temp field" (table of Temp) ]

Paste [ table of Temp::Temp ] [ Select; No style ]

Go to Layout [ original layout ]

This can be called from anywhere, and will be transparent to users.

Alternatively, you could place an invisible instance of Temp on the current layout. Make it very small, disallow entry (in field behavior) and hide it under another object on the layout.

Yes,

It seems be the solution

Thanks
