Re: Mouse copy/paste support

Hello Wengier, Thank you for all your work on this excellent patch. One question: Could you make the Paste function mappable to a keystroke, so that we could use the mapper (or patch the source code) so that (for example) Ctrl-Alt-V would paste to the cursor location, without using the mouse? I …

I've been testing your patch, it works real well. I noted that the clipboard will accept a long line of text, but dosbox itself will only paste 15 characters of any line of text. I presume this limit is "nearby" to the function "BIOS_AddKeyToBuffer", but I've yet to find the exact cause of the 15 …

Yes; as ripsaw said, once the buffer is expanded then the paste operation has that expanded limit. That isn't the only utility to expand the keyboard buffer, it was just the first one I tried. Apparently, it's a whole genre of utility programs. 😀

hmm, definitely not working on OS X. I *suspect* that one needs to include sdl1/pdcsdl.h from the pdcurses sources. I tried to include it in sdlmain.cpp after the curses.h include but that failed at first on undefined PDCEX. That I solved by using an original curses.h file (curses.h that was created …

Wengier, You are right that the dbDOS method is keyboard only and win32-only. If anyone is interested, the complete source code is here: http://www.dbase.com/downloads/dbDOS_Pro_2_engine_source.zip There's a later version that adds a few files and seems to make things more complicated: http://www. …

I have checked dbDOS's source code a bit, not only its paste function is Win32 only, but the keycode parsing function is also Win32 only, so it will not be cross-platform at all. I don't really wish to break the compatibility with other operating systems by adding such Win32-specific function calls …

I've got a question :) Is it possible to change the codepage of the copied text from dosbox? The thing is I've got a software that is using codepage 437 and it displays correctly, but when I copy something to notepad (or similar software) the copied characters are incorrect (The "basic" letters are …

I've tried to compile the sdl version of pdcurses under OS X, but get an error message about not finding sdl.h. I've installed sdl-config via Macports, but it didn't help. I hope someone who knows what he or she is doing (as I don't) might be able to help, but I'll keep trying in the meantime. …

Support for Mouse Copy & Paste on Windows 10 Pro

Posted on 2016-12-19, 16:19

in DOSBox General
I have installed DosBox 0.74 on a Dell laptop running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. DosBox launches just fine and I can run my desired application (Telemagic for DOS). However, I cannot use the mouse inside Telemagic (or even inside DosBox when I first launch it) to select any of the text. The mouse moves …

I don't see where you submitted the library name to the linker: -lpdcurses. Also, did you ensure that curses.h was copied to /opt/local/include? Did you inspect the config.log file to see if curses.h and pdcurses were detected? This assumes that the configure script was formatted properly for …

Pdcurses-sdl must use the pdcurses curses.h file, not another; one reason is that the clipboard functions are not expected in other libraries, but moreso because it will break pdcurses. The /include directory must have header files which match to the linked libraries, especially on OSX. If running …

If running the clipboard test, show the results because they are not easy to interpret (specifically show the final screen that appears from that test). There is no such error I read in source code which outputs "nothing goes in or out" or prints lines that the user copies to the system clipboard. …
