Got "TTranslateString", expected "TPersistent"

[mrmaxmusterman]

Im currently creating an aes en-/decryption program in lazarus. So far, everything is working fine. The only problem i currently have is that i want to copy the output to clipboard. I therefore used the function:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Clipboard.Assign(Edit.Text)

Note: Under the uses section, "Clipbrd" is set in place

When tryping to compile, i'll get the following error:

"aes_unit.pas(80,40) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got "TTranslateString", expected "TPersistent""

Is there any way that i can convert the translatestring to a normal string etc. so that i can therefore copy it to my clipboard?

Try:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.   ClipBoard.AsText := Edit1.Text;
