Hi, is there any simple method for reading the content of a file (non-text, binary such as graphics or audio data) from Windows Explorer?

Code:
^!4::
Send, ^c
Clipwait
IfExist, %ClipBoard%
FileRead, Clippy, %Clipboard%
Clipboard = %Clippy%
Return


This works for text files, and so I can read a text file into the clipboard or any var while in Explorer. But I'm not getting it to work for graphics files etc. in order to paste them into the appropriate editor. How is this done?

Cheers, ribbet.1

Thanks but I don't think that works. Any other ideas?

If you have irfanview you can do so via the commandline if I'm not mistaken, replace your fileread with pathtoirfanview.exe %clipboard% /clipcopy
-> copy image to the clipboard

This is a nice workaround solution for a lot of different file types. I think there must not be an easy way of doing this in ahk itself? Can't use clipboardall as an output var.

I'm sure some wizards like sean or tic will be able to do it all in ahk (perhaps you will find some info in their screenshot (sean) and or gdi+ (tic) scripts and libraries) but it if works it works :-)

Thanks, HugoV. As always, you rock. I'm still hoping somebody will come along and answer my question with an all-AHK solution. Anything?

to get a graphics file into clipboard maybe:

Code:
fileselectfile,file   ;only graphics files!!


DllCall( "LoadLibrary", Str,"gdiplus" )
VarSetCapacity(si, 16, 0), si := Chr(1)
DllCall( "gdiplus\GdiplusStartup", UIntP,pToken, UInt,&si, UInt,0 )

pBitmap:=Gdip_CreateBitmapFromFile(File)

DllCall( "gdiplus\GdipCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap", UInt,pBitmap, UIntP,hBitmap, UInt,0 )

SetClipboardData(hBitmap)

DllCall( "gdiplus\GdipDisposeImage", UInt,pBitmap )
DllCall( "gdiplus\GdiplusShutdown", UInt,pToken )
Return                                                     


Gdip_CreateBitmapFromFile(sFile)
{
   VarSetCapacity(wFile, 1023)
   DllCall("kernel32\MultiByteToWideChar", "UInt", 0, "UInt", 0, "UInt", &sFile, "Int", -1, "UInt", &wFile, "Int", 512)
   DllCall("gdiplus\GdipCreateBitmapFromFile", "UInt", &wFile, "UInt*", pBitmap)
   Return, pBitmap
}

SetClipboardData(hBitmap)
{
   DllCall("GetObject", "Uint", hBitmap, "int", VarSetCapacity(oi,84,0), "Uint", &oi)
   hDIB :=   DllCall("GlobalAlloc", "Uint", 2, "Uint", 40+NumGet(oi,44))
   pDIB :=   DllCall("GlobalLock", "Uint", hDIB)
   DllCall("RtlMoveMemory", "Uint", pDIB, "Uint", &oi+24, "Uint", 40)
   DllCall("RtlMoveMemory", "Uint", pDIB+40, "Uint", NumGet(oi,20), "Uint", NumGet(oi,44))
   DllCall("GlobalUnlock", "Uint", hDIB)
   DllCall("DeleteObject", "Uint", hBitmap)
   DllCall("OpenClipboard", "Uint", 0)
   DllCall("EmptyClipboard")
   DllCall("SetClipboardData", "Uint", 8, "Uint", hDIB)
   DllCall("CloseClipboard")
}



From code made by Sean in screencapture.ahk but all errors and mistakes in this example are from me !!!

Thank you! I'm gathering it would take something pretty elaborate to work with just any binary content. I will definitely play with this.
