Close

Copy2Clipboard uses the Flash and javascript from ZeroClipboard and bundles it into an easy to use widget. The Copy2ClipboardButton behaves just like a normal button but copies its text to the users clipboard. The button will work on every position on the page, even in nested panels and popups.

Sample code

// Create a new instance
Copy2ClipboardButton button = new Copy2ClipboardButton("Copy");
// Set the text to copy
button.setClipboardText("copy this to the clipboard");
	
// The listener will trigger on successful copy action
button.addListener(new ClipboardListener() {
	    
    @Override
    public void copiedToClipboard(ClipboardEvent event) {
        mainWindow.showNotification("Copied to the clipboard");
    }
});

Copy2ClipboardButton copyButton = new Copy2ClipboardButton("copy", true); // set retainClipElement to true
final PopupButton popup = new PopupButton("show popup");
popup.addComponent(copyButton);

copyButton.addListener(new ClipboardListener() {

	@Override
	public void copiedToClipboard(ClipboardEvent event) {
	    popup.setPopupVisible(true);
	}
});
