paste-character-format

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: window

Sets the character format of the currently selected text in window to reflect the character-format instance that is currently the value of the global variable *copied-character-format*. window must be an instance of a text-edit-pane (which is a superclass of rich-edit-pane). It cannot be a text-edit-window or a rich-edit control (apply window to a rich-edit control to get a value suitable as an argument to this function).

The Edit | Paste Format command on the rich edit menubar calls this function. (That command does not appear on the Allegro CL Edit menu.)

See copy-character-format, which sets the value of *copied-character-format* to a character-format instance.
