Copy and paste from Clearwin transcript window

I'm trying to copy and paste from a Clearwin window (an ordinary Fortran output stream) but it's very unreliable.

opening window with ---
      wcaption = 'VMINE DEVELOPMENT VERSION '//verno//' '//verdate
      kkk = winio@('%ww[casts_shadow]%lw&',ictrl)  
      kkk = winio@('%ca@&',wcaption)
      kkk = winio@('%mn[Copy]&','COPY')
      kkk = winio@('%pv%`100.25cw[hscroll,vscroll]&',idsply,ihndcw)
      kkk = winio@('%ac[Ctrl+C]','COPY')
      call set_max_lines@ (ihndcw,100000)
      kkk = set_default_window@ (ihndcw)

writing Fortran standard stream to it (on LUN idsply)...

then I want to copy and paste some the output elsewhere (usually into Notepad)

and finally I close the window with

      ictrl = 1
      call window_update@(ictrl) 

What am I doing wrong? I select the section I want. Sometimes it copies one character or one line from the selection, sometimes more.

CTRL/C seems to work better than COPY from the menu item, but whether either of them works is completely unpredictable.

Help!!

Are you using a recent salflibc.dll? I did fix a bug in this area not too long ago.

Hi Paul -

I'm using the latest (last week's?) salflib beta.

I notice from the documentation that although the COPY callback works, there's no mention of other standard callbacks like SELECT_ALL that are available on edit-box windows. Just a thought though - is it possible to attach an I/O stream to a %eb window instead, to use it just like a %cw window?

Having said all that, one thing I like about Clearwin+ is that there always seem to be workarounds. I've just solved my immediate problem with a call to GET_CLEARWIN_TEXT@ and then dumping the buffer to an external .txt file.

%eb does not take a Fortran unit number.

The follow sample appears to work with COPY...

      WINAPP  
      integer kkk,winio@,ctrl
      kkk = winio@('%ww&')  
      kkk = winio@('%ca[Caption]&') 
      kkk = winio@('%mn[Copy]&','COPY') 
      kkk = winio@('%pv%100.25cw[hscroll,vscroll]&',10)
      kkk = winio@('%lw', ctrl)
      write(10,*) 'First Line' 
      write(10,*) 'Second Line' 
      write(10,*) 'Third Line' 
      end

Odd. Even your simple sample doesn't work reliably on my development machine (Win XP). Just tried on Win 7 but same result. I've checked that the only Salflibc.dll it can be using is the 31st Aug 2013 beta version. Sometimes the copy works, sometimes it doesn't.
