Send clipboard data option?

[Rick]

Is there an option to send clipboard data with the log file? I have a
situation where an exception occurs when the user is pasting something into
a 3rd party add-on tool for Dephi. The author of that tools mentioned the
exception occured after the damage was already done, and most likely was
caused by what was being pasted from the clipboard... so it is hard to trace
where the problem is occuring without that critical piece of info.

If there is no option, can we have this ability available?

Thanks,
Eric

IMO, this would be dangerous, as it could easily get you labeled as spyware.
I can see the need, in some cases to do this. But it should not be something
that can be easily/accidentally turned on, nor should it be something that
anyone could do without the user's knowledge/consent.

All it takes is one user to find his creditcard number in his outgoing mail,
and everything associated with your app - or maybe any Eurekalog-enabled
app, would be labeled as spyware.

Rick, you may be safer having the user paste into the "how did this happen?"
box.

Yes this would be dangerous in some situations.
But in cases like he describes, could be useful.

This would be a good option to have available in special builds designed to root out this problem. The user knowing this would logically not paste a valid creditcard or something. This is of course assuming a logical user. :)

Hi,

this is a really dangerous option.

You can obtain this just today simply using the "OnCustomDataRequest" event.

See here:
http://www.eurekalog.com/docs/customdatarequesthowto.html

You must only add the sources to convert the clipboard data into text and add it to the EurekaLog log using the previous event.
