DialogCut

When a dialog box containing an editable text item is active, use the DialogCut procedure to handle the Cut editing command. The DialogCut procedure is also available as the DlgCut procedure.

PROCEDURE DialogCut (theDialog: DialogPtr);
theDialog
A pointer to a dialog record.
DESCRIPTION
The DialogCut procedure checks whether the dialog box has any editable text items and, if so, applies the TextEdit procedure TECut to the selected text. Your application should test whether a dialog box is the frontmost window when handling mouse-down events in the Edit menu and then call this routine when appropriate.

SEE ALSO
For more information about allowing access to your menus when your application displays dialog boxes, see "Adjusting Menus for Modal Dialog Boxes" beginning on page 6-68 and "Adjusting Menus for Movable Modal and Modeless Dialog Boxes" on page 6-73. The TECut procedure is described in the chapter "TextEdit" in Inside Macintosh: Text.
