Put JPG to Clipboad, how ?

[Greenhorn]

Moin,

I want to copy an Image or Picture - png, gif, jpg - to the Clipboard, so I played around with _ClipPutFile() and _Clipboard_SetData(), but everything failes.

With Bitmaps it is no problem, so what's the thing that makes these formats so difficult to handle ?!

I tried _Clipboard_SetData() with $CF_BITMAP and $CF_METAFILEPICT with the same results: No go !

#include<Clipboard.au3>
$file = "C:\test.jpg"
_ClipBoard_Open(0)
_ClipBoard_Empty()
_ClipBoard_SetData($file, $CF_METAFILEPICT) ; failes
_ClipBoard_Close()

_ClipPutFile($file) ; failes also

I found a Topic here to get a Picture to the Clipboard, by creating an Object, but it also didn't work in my tests ...

Could anybody give me a tip how to get a png, gif or jpg to the Clipboard, please ?

First, let me just say, I don't know.

I just want to clear up some confusion I have about your question so I know what you're trying to do: Are you trying to put a file that is a .jpg on the clipboard so you could paste it elsewhere (like in explorer), or are you trying to put the data of the .jpg image itself on the clipboard so you could paste it into a program (like paint)? I think there's a significant difference between these two things... (though I could be wrong here too).

I want to paste the Picture into other Progs like Paint or any other Application, but the first possibility is also interesting.

How could I put the Data of an Image to the Clipboard ? That's the main question that tortures me !

HI,

yes. I would also like to know how to say clipboard - hey ho now there comes a jpg or png or something.

And after it, I can paste it to word, excel, msapint or some other programm that does understand that.

It works when I am using a screenshot tool, but how does a screenshottool store the data into clipboard? Is this even possible from file or do I always have to show the pic on screen and then put it into clipbaord?

Hi Mega,

you know where the original post is from, didn't you ?

O.K., I took a deeper look into _ClipBoard_SetData and I think it's possible with _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile.

But how do I create a $hMemory from the returned _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile ???

#include<Clipboard.au3>
#Include <GDIPlus.au3>

$sFileName = "J:\Eigene Dateien\Eigene Bilder\Diverses\AutoIt3port.jpg"
_GDIPlus_Startup()
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($sFileName)
_ClipBoard_Open(0)
_ClipBoard_Empty()
_ClipBoard_SetData($hImage, $CF_METAFILEPICT ) ; failes
_ClipBoard_Close()
_GDIPlus_ShutDown()

Any experiences and/or ideas out there ?
