Copying Application Components Between Applications
You can copy and paste many parts of an application to another application. For example, when you have copied a form or some form objects, it is possible to paste them between two running instances of COMSOL Multiphysics, or in one running instance after opening a new application. You can also copy methods, utility methods, external libraries, file declarations, choice list declarations, menu items, menu dividers, menus, ribbon sections, and ribbon tabs. The copy operation can handle references to various objects in the application. When you copy and paste between applications, the following information regarding references to methods and files can be useful:
•
Local methods are included in the copy-paste operation. However, the code in the methods is unchanged.
•
All image references are copied and added during paste if needed. If there is an existing image with the same name, it will be used instead of the copied version.
•
No files or sounds are copied.
If there are potential issues with the paste operation, a message window appears. You can then choose to cancel the paste operation.
