Cloning a table to another fcx control (Read 3220 times)

	Hi, I understand that table.clone creates a clone of a table (btw, Table.Clone() method is not in the help file). How can I place a cloned object in another fcx control? I could only find CreateTable(...) to create a new table, but no way to insert an already created table. I'm sure I'm missing something but can't figure out what ??? Thanks

	Hi, The only way to do that I can think of is to call fc1.SaveToStream(stream) followed by fc2.LoadFromStream(stream) while the table is selected. You will need a pointer to OLE stream as argument. If the language you are using does not have direct support for OLE streams, you can create one through the CreateStreamOnHGlobal API function. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Ok. One final question Just to make things a lil more clear to me: So, CreateTable() is the only way to add elements to Tables collection. And when we get an Item from Tables collection what we actually get is a copy of that item, right? What about CopyToClipboard and PasteFromClipborad?

	You get a reference to the actual table from the collection, and not a copy. You can also use the CopyToClipboard and PasteFromClipboard methods to copy a table to another flowchart, but that will delete whatever users have stored in the clipboard. And internally the clipboard methods use SaveToStream and LoadFromStream anyway. Stoyan
