Select page in word copy it to clipboard and paste it in paint

[Immi Immens]

Hi,

I want to create a image out of a selected page in word.
Manually I do it with copy in word and paste in paint and save it.
This page contains different formats (IDataObject.GetFormats())

Now I like to have this done by a little program.
I have already done the page select in word and copy it to clipboard.
I don't know how to control paint in C#.

How can the clipboard be copied in paint?
How can I save the image with a file name I've chosen in my program?

I've also looked for a method which creates a image out of clipboard like paint.


Best regards

Immanuel

I know I am not answering your question but...

Why do you bother opening paint?
Once you have the image in the cliboard you can call Clipboard.GetImage andthen save it with Image.Save.
MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.clipboard.getimage.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/system.drawing.image.save(v=vs.80).aspx

Sample using those: http://www.csharphelp.com/2007/05/save-picture-from-clipboard-to-file-using-c/

Hi bradbury9,

Thank you for the answer.

This will work also with text elements?
I thought that Clipboard.GetImage extracts the image files out of my clipboard.

And because of the other elements, I asked for a method like paint, to create images.


Kind regards

Just check the Clipboard class, It has methods to get different types o object, including text.

Hi again,

I've spent some time to Clipboard class.
I can copy a single image or a single text. I can't handle it when I've copied images and text to clipboard.
I'll try to upload a sample-file.

Here the sample file: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-sN8GSmAfADekxRa1hsSmRsXzA
Sorry I did not make text as image with no background.

yeah, that is Windows behaviour, windows can have only one item in clipboard. There are some solutions to workaround that issue that monitor the clipboard events using windows API. They subscribe to the Copy event and store in memory the element that is being inserted into the clipboard. Check this out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3229834/clipboard-monitor-c-sharp

Hi bradbury,

I've made a workaround. I saved this page as xps and then used a tool to create jpg. Thank you for your hints and your time.
