copy/paste through api

Is there a way to copy a molecule to the system clipboard through the JChem API? (As if right clicking on a MViewPane and choosing Edit>Copy)





Thanks

You can not access the copy action of Marvin from the JChem API but it is very easy to do it with the following custom code (if you need only a string copy):

Code:

import java.awt.datatransfer.*; ... Molecule mol = viewPane.getM(0); String s = mol.toFormat("mrv"); StringSelection selection = new StringSelection(s); Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard(); ClipboardOwner co = this; clipboard.setContents(selection,(co);

(Your class has to implement java.awt.datatranfer.ClipboardOwner interface.)
