Is There a Way to Copy a Linked Image to The Clipboard From a Form Linked Image Control?

[Gasman]

I was using an existing image control.

I just checked a google static map app that I have which loads a png file into the edge browser control. Just tried right clicking on the image and it allows you to copy and paste into word. no code involved.

There's an Edge browser control? For forms?

I've just discovered the API from the MVP site won't copy .png image files. Beyond frustrated, just in time for Xmas. LOL

Code copies PNG files fine for me?
Have you made it ALL 64bit compatible?

depends on your version of access.

Thanks, Gasman, that's hopeful sounding. I have not gone past the Ptr bit. I must watch the video to see if that helps me.

@DittoBird
What version of access are you using?

I have A365 so it has the Edge Browser control.

I just tested with the old webbrowser control and it too allows you to copy and paste to word. No Code.

Thanks, I will take the time to watch this.

Hmm, the only thing I was really able to truly understand was converting Long declarations to LongPtr. Doing that, I can't even copy jpgs:

So back to longs they go! I guess I'll just put a msgbox to "do it manually" if the file is a png.

 

[Gasman]

That last link I posted has LongLong ?
It is not just a case of changing all Longs
Only the required ones should be changed. The hard bit is finding out which ones to change.

Unless you really need 64bit, go back to 32 bit, or try the browser control.

A 365. I've never used or have any no idea how to use a browser control, must read up on them. I have them both. Hopefully I can use can point it at images in the various folders where I am currently point the image control.

just set the controlsource to your path like:

="https://msaccess/C:\Users\Ditto\Desktop\eye.png"

Note the prefix https://msaccess/ before the actual path. You must include it if the source image is a local file.
