using ClipGet on an image?

[taylansan]

when u copy some text or w/e it is saved in clipboard.

ex: i copy "dsadsa" and saved in clipboard, the below program shows this and checks if u copy smt in every 0.25secs

while 1
$commands = ClipGet()
Tooltip($commands,2,2  )
sleep(250)
wend

now i wonder if i copy an image using printscreen. copied image is also saved in clipboard (i think).

how can i read the values of the image which is saved in clipboard?

tnx for answering

Short answer-you can't. But if you really try, you MAY be able to get some text by using OCR.

Look here at Autoit3Lib by PaulIA.

Edit:

That is for grabbing a capture and saving it. Read values from a image in the clipboard is illogical to imagine.

Using Auto3Lib to capture screen, paste to clipboard, open Paint, paste:

; Capture to clipboard
$hBMP = _ScreenCap_Capture("")
_Clip_SetData($hBMP, $CF_BITMAP)
; Run paint and paste the image
Run("MSPaint.exe")
WinWaitActive("untitled - Paint")
Send("!eP")

I also tried to find solution with this issue, but failed.

I found one command line small utility can help on this way.

it call "ClipboardToImage", you could seach it on google.

As the post right above yours shows, you can use Auto3Lib to put images on the clipboard. You can also read an image from the clipboard and save it to disk. I believe that is what the OP was asking for and it's all done in AutoIt code.

I know that Auto3Lib is able to do that, but incase you're looking for something else, read this thread:

VB? Ugh! I think if you peeked inside of VB you'd see that it's making the same API call to the clipboard that Auto3Lib makes. To each his own though.

What am I doing Wrong? (why won't it paste image)

#include <A3LClipboard.au3>

Send('!{PRINTSCREEN}')
Sleep(1000*2)
$lastclip = ClipGet()
Local $clipType
If @error=2 Then 
    $clipType = 'image'
    $lastclip =_Clip_GetData($CF_BITMAP)
ElseIf @error > 2 Then
    ConsoleWrite('Msg: '& 'clipget unknown handling of errorcode '& @error & @CRLF)
    $clipType = 'unknown'
Else
    $clipType = 'text'
EndIf

If $lastclip = '' Then ConsoleWrite('Lastclip Var: '& 'nothing in lastclip var' & @CRLF)

Run('"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"',"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\")
ClipPut('Test Msg')

$WinTitle='Document - WordPad'
WinWaitActive($WinTitle)
ConsoleWrite('ClipType: '& $clipType &@CRLF)
If $clipType = 'text' Then
    ClipPut($lastclip)
Else
    _Clip_SetData($lastclip, $CF_BITMAP)
EndIf
Sleep(1000*3)
ConsoleWrite('Clipboard: '&$lastclip &'-:' & @CRLF)
If $lastclip = '' Then ConsoleWrite('Msg: '& 'nothing in lastclip var' & @CRLF)
ControlSend($WinTitle,'','RICHEDIT50W1','^v')
