StringSelection is a "convenience" class that can be used for copy and paste operations on Unicode text strings. For example, you could place a string on the system's clipboard with the following code:
Clipboard c = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard(); StringSelection s = new StringSelection( "Be safe when you cut and paste."); c.setContents(s, s);
public class java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.awt.datatransfer.ClipboardOwner,
java.awt.datatransfer.Transferable {
// Constructor
public StringSelection(String data);
// Instance Methods
public synchronized Object getTransferData (DataFlavor flavor)
throws UnsupportedFlavorException, IOException;
public synchronized DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors();
public boolean isDataFlavorSupported (DataFlavor flavor);
public void lostOwnership (Clipboard clipboard, Transferable contents);
}
