Add image to RTF document

[Fraser]

Good Afternoon,

I'm writing an app to create an outlook signature, so far I have it creating the HTML, Plain Text and part of the Rich Text signature however I'm stuck at adding an image to the RTF document.

This is the code I have so far for the RTF part:

$filename2 = $sigpath & "\" & $sigrtf
    $msg2 = "{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1030{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}{\f1\froman\fcharset0 Arial;}}" & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "{\colortbl ;\red0\green0\blue0;\red0\green0\blue255;}" & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}" & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line " & $salutation & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line\line{\b " & $Firstname & " " & $lastname & "}" & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line{\b " & $Description & "}" & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line\line " & $department & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line [Company Name]" & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line " & $officelocation_rtf & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line " & $PostalAddressrtf & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line " & $phonertf & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= '\line {\field{\*\fldinst HYPERLINK "mailto:' & $emailaddress & '"}{\fldrslt\ul\cf2 ' & $emailaddress & '}}' & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= '\line {\field{\*\fldinst HYPERLINK "http:\\www.[Company Name].co.uk"}{\fldrslt\ul\cf2 www.[Company Name].co.uk}}' & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\line\line " & $dept_text_rtf & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "\pard\cf1\f0\fs20" & @CRLF
    $msg2 &= "}"
    FileWrite($filename2, $msg2)

I believe the image needs to be written in this format in RTF:

\line {\rtf1 {\pict \dibitmap [Binary data] }}

I've tried to get the binary data for the bitmap however that hasn't worked and I have tried to use _WinAPI_GetDIBits however I'm not entirely sure how this works.

Can anyone help please?

The image type must be in BMP format, further you need to read the image in binary format and finally trim left the binary string by 30.

Something like this here:

$binImage = StringTrimLeft(Binary(FileRead("YourImage.bmp")), 30)
$binRtf = "{\rtf1{\pict\dibitmap\picw6218\pich3149\picwgoal3525\pichgoal1785 " & $binImage & "}}"

When you create a signature, Outlook saves a version for text, HTML and RTF mails.

Please have a look at my OutlookEX UDF, function _OL_MailSignatureCreate and the _OL_MailSignatureCreate.au3 example. The example shows how to create a signature with formatted text, a table and an included image.
