_CLIPBOARDIMAGE (function) - mkilgore/QB64pe GitHub Wiki

The _CLIPBOARDIMAGE function pastes an image from the clipboard into a new 32-bit image in memory.

Syntax

newImageHandle& = _CLIPBOARDIMAGE

Description

  • When the paste operation is successful, newImageHandle& will be < -1. Handle values of -1 or 0 indicate that there wasn't an image in the clipboard or that the format wasn't accepted.
  • Use _FREEIMAGE to free the memory used by newImageHandle& when it's no longer needed by your program.
  • Not available in Linux or macOS.

Availability

    PRINT "Monitoring clipboard..."
    IF img& < -1 THEN _FREEIMAGE img&
    img& = _CLIPBOARDIMAGE
    IF img& < -1 THEN
        PRINT "Image found:"
        COLOR _RGB32(255, 255, 255)
        PRINT "Width :"; _WIDTH (function)(img&)
        PRINT "Height:"; _HEIGHT(img&)
        w = _WIDTH (function) / 2 - _WIDTH (function)(img&) / 2
        IF w < 0 THEN w = 0
        _PUTIMAGE (w, CSRLIN * _FONTHEIGHT), img&
