Question

Hi everyone,
I have quite a problem. I have a text pane and three menu items which are cut copy and paste. In my textpane i have some text and an embedded icon. when i select all the contents of the textpane and click cut all the contents of the textpane dissapears which is correct but here is the kicker in that when i click paste only the text is pasted in the textpane but the embedded icon seems to have dissapeared. This is also the same with the copy action

I am actually using the textpane's cut, copy and paste api method's.

Can someone please show me some codings or tell me what i am doing wrong

My e-mail is<EMAIL SNIPPED>

Thank You

Yours Sincerely
