The following example demonstrates the use of the System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard DotNetClass to read and write bitmaps from/to the Windows Clipboard.
The script can be saved into one of the Startup folders to be evaluated on
startup.
The custom function will be executed by a PostRender callback each time the
renderer finishes.
| fn
CopyRenderToClipboard = --define a global function ( clipboardClass = dotNetClass "System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard" --create a Clipboard dotNetClass b = getLastRenderedImage() --get the last saved image theFileName = GetDir #image + "\\_renderToClipboard.bmp" --define a temp.file name b.filename = theFileName --set the bitmap's file name save b --save the bitmap close b --close the bitmap theImage = dotNetClass "System.Drawing.Image" --create an Image dotNetClass theBitmap = theImage.FromFile theFileName --get the saved image from file as bitmap clipboardClass.setImage theBitmap --copy the image to clipboard theBitmap.Dispose() --release the bitmap deleteFile theFileName --delete the temp. file clipboardClass.ContainsImage() --return true if the clipboard contains image )--end fn callbacks.removeScripts id:#CopyRenderToClipboard --remove any callbacks with the given ID callbacks.addScript #PostRender "CopyRenderToClipboard()" id:#CopyRenderToClipboard --register a callback to run the function post-render |
