[SOLVED]Copy a file to clipboard

[caramen]

Hello Guys,

I am trying to make a screenshoot copy it to clipboard and paste it into a word document i want to do that to simplify my procedures création. 

 

I am trying to use the way of sending Keys "^c" & "^v" i tryed also CTRLDOWN and c but no one of these is working. 

 

First question :

Why that's not working? 

Is there anyother way i can work with ?

 

I watched the help file for FileCopy but it s only moving Files and not copy them. 

 

Maybe you can see somthing going wrong in my script but i guess it s not a syntax problem.

You have absolutely no error checking in your script.
What is the return value and the value of @error after

_ScreenCapture_Capture

I dont need to check if the copy is working because i am openning the directory just after the capture and then i can see the file is properly copyed. 

 

The probleme is solved with 

Send("{CTRLDOWN}v{CTRLUP}")

that way is working.

 

Evenwithout probleme i am gonna listen anytips you whould like to learn to me. 

btw: this is the help file : 

#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
_ScreenCapture_Capture ( [$sFileName = "" [, $iLeft = 0 [, $iTop = 0 [, $iRight = -1 [, $iBottom = -1 [, $bCursor = True]]]]]] )

There is no @error checking with return value . Or i am missing somthing with that ?

@error Is just if not file as been created.
