TWCP V 1.10 - Text Window Cut and Paste works installing a
system hook that intercepts every mouse message posted. If the message
is directed to a DOS or OS/2 Text Window, that has a window class of
type Shield, and it is a Mark, Copy or Paste key combination, the
messages for Mark, Copy or Paste are send to the window.
Warning: Because the program relies on the class name, and there can
be other windows with class name Shield that aren't DOS or OS/2 Text
Windows, the program can fail with those windows.
The fields Class and Parent show the class name of every window in
which the mouse is clicked.
If you find a program that makes fail TWCP V 1.10 - Text Window
Cut and Paste please let us know.
