Hi guys,
I am trying to create a simple tool to copy XY from where i click the mouse button. What i have done already is:
1. create add-in files using Python Add-In Wizard
2. create toolbar and tool inside it
in *.py file i got:
import arcpy import pythonaddins import win32clipboard as clipboard class p_tool(object): """Implementation for python-add-in-proj_addin.tool (Tool)""" def __init__(self): self.enabled = True self.shape = "NONE" def onMouseDownMap(self, x, y, button, shift): button = 1 shift = 2 clipboard.OpenClipboard() clipboard.EmptyClipboard() xy = str(x1)+' '+str(y1) clipboard.SetClipboardData(xy, clipboard.CF_TEXT) clipboard.closeClipboard() message = xy pythonaddins.MessageBox(message, "My Coordinates", 0)
About win32clipboard - i tested in in python windon in ArcMap and I am able to import it and openclipboard() but emptyclipboard() does not work and gives me that error:
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
error: (1418, 'EmptyClipboard', 'Thread does not have a clipboard open.')
thanks for your help!
