Is there an efficient way to copy a row (object) or set of rows from a DOORS view to rich text for pasting in an email? I can grab text from an individual cell (attribute), but copy/paste of whole items only has meaning within DOORS as far as I can tell. I know I can export and then copy from there, but that is too much. I usually end up taking a screen snip. There must be a better way?! -Mat mek363 - Wed Jan 20 11:48:44 EST 2016 |
Re: Efficient copy/paste from DOORS client What would happen if you search this forum for email. There has been discussions about emailing from DOORS. |

Loop through the columns of the current view ... ( ->> easy) Get the column content for the object (or selected objects ...) ... ( ->> do you realy need the OLEs ?? :D ) Enclose the content in a html envelop to build a table aspect like you have in doors ... (->> easy, just use any wysiwyg tool to get the html you need) Use the clipboard to store the result, enjoy the past feature of your OS ... and the fact that outlook is able to use html content ;) (->> easy)
Obviously, to build it will not be so trivial (deal with image/OLE could be fun o:) ) but i'm pretty sure that you can do it ... and post your script here if you are in trouble, or succeed in your attempt ;) |

I have not done any scripting in DOORS, so I wouldn't know where to start. I wouldn't need the OLEs, so an HTML envelope would work. If you think that is fairly straightforward, can you point me to a similar sample? |

@Tony_Goodman 8a24d144-703c-4913-b44d-dde671be5f8e, thanks for the pointer. Since I have never done anything with DXL before, could someone point me to a primer that would help me get this script "installed" and ideally linked to a shortcut key? |
