Thank you. I am looking forward to try your code. I think I will just copy it
verbatim to my app ;-)

May I have one more wish? Could you put down a short example of accessing
either clipboard or the primary selection from a widget that does not have
this capability by default.
When I had no success with the DND I tried to put the data from FXTreeList
to the clipboard. I looked at the FXText.cpp file for inspiration. However
it seemed to me that FXTreeList could not acquire neither clipboard nor
primary selection.
I believe the mechanism is very similar to DND. Am I right?

Thanks in advance
