Exporting front panel graph to clipboard

[yoppy]

Hello,

I want to export Graph (not simplified image, but exactly as in front panel) to clipboard. Then, I will paste the clipboard content to MS Word document.

How can I export that graph image to clipboard?

Thank oyu.

Hi it can be done using an invoke node. This VI has been saved for LV 8.0

Thank's for your response. The ExportImage method doesn't keep the properties of the graph. In other words, exported image is simplified image. What I want is exactly the same as displayed on front panel ( color, cursor, etc).

How can I get that result?

Pick "Data Operations->Copy Data" in control shortcut menu. Then go to WORD and paste it (Ctrl+V).

Copying FP image is available for all controls besides graphs.

Hi, sorry missed that point. The copy data option advised by hanrock can do that.

Ooops, I am very sorry. My question was incomplete. I want to do that programmatically.

So?

O.K. Then my example is to use a 2D Pic control to export the image.

Hi Hanraock,

I'm using LV 8.2. Would you please convert to LV 8.2? Can I run that code in LV 8.2?

Many thanks.

Sorry, yoppy. You need to at least use LV8.5 since the 2D Pic export invoke is introduced in LV8.5.
