In This Topic
    CanCutAsync Method (PaneBase)
    In This Topic
    The active pane is constantly polled giving it the opportunity to enable the application's Cut button.
    Syntax
    protected internal virtual Task<bool> CanCutAsync()
    Protected Friend Overridable Function CanCutAsync() As Task(Of Boolean)

    Return Value

    A Task so the main user interface thread is not blocked while processing this request.
    Remarks
    To facilitate clipboard operations, the framework has created four commands (Copy, Paste, PasteSpecial, and Cut) that are registered to appear in the Clipboard group in several ribbon tabs. These commands, like most, are polled constantly for their enabled state. The unique feature about these commands is that they defer their logic to active window (Pane or DockPane) first and if this object returns false, they then consult each currently loaded module (until one returns true). For example, when a feature is selected in a map, the map pane may return false for CanCopyAsync but the Editing module, which has no pane of its own, may return true. The object that returns true for any of the ‘Can’ functions is the object that is called if the user clicks on the command.
