Syntax Editor already provides formats for UnicodeText and Text.
I wonder if it was possible to add support for HTML and RTF as VS 2005 does.
Since there exist export capabilities to both formats, why not include them here?

OK, CutCopyDragWithRtf works for RTF and Text Editors.
Could you *please* also implement a CutCopyDragWithHTML so I can paste my source code into web pages?
Thanx!

This seems to do it:
Private Sub Editor1_CutCopyDrag(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ActiproSoftware.SyntaxEditor.CutCopyDragEventArgs) Handles Editor1.CutCopyDrag
With e.DataObject
.SetData(System.Windows.Forms.DataFormats.Html, False, Editor1.Document.GetTextAsHtml(HtmlExportType.Inline, LineEndStyle.CarriageReturnNewline))
End With
End Sub

However, I don't know why this works.
GetTextAsHTML returns the entire document text, but clipboard contains only the selected text.
It does contain HTML format.
hm...

Hi Tobias,

Yes we have an item on our TODO list to allow getting HTML text substrings. The GetTextAsHtml returns the entire doc as HTML. If you need this immediately you can build this functionality yourself by doing what you did with handling CutCopyDrag and calling your own method for building the HTML there. That's exactly why we made that event so you can customize what gets placed on the clipboard.

Do you by any chance have already included the "partial html" to copy selected code in html format?

Hi Tobias,

Sorry we only have that for RTF right now.
