copy pictures from MS-Paint to Binary Memo Field

[154868]

Hi all,

I can open mspaint and paste the graph image into
mspaint with CTRL+V
How can I paste that image into a Binary-Memo Field
or into an image control within VFP8 ?

Thanks in advance

How about...

lcStr=FILETOSTR('C:\balloon.bmp')
INSERT INTO table1 (mymemo) VALUES (lcstr)

Are changing you requirements? What do you mean by read?

Can't you just stuff a CTRL+V into the keyboard buffer? The KEYBOARD command is crude but sometimes effective.

More sophisticated, call SYS(1500, "med_paste", "med_edit") to invoke the paste operation.

Andreas,

But it was in a file when you opened it in Paint. Just use Mike Gagnon's code, and you'll get what you want.
