Hi Eitan, It seems that the Windows PrintScreen functionality is using some proprietary format that is not supported by Uniface. Have you already tried using a screen capture tool instead? I did a quick test using a tool called FastStone Capture and with it I can paste screen captures without any problem into a Uniface Picture field. Hope this helps. Daniel

Thanks, but I want something users can do w/o having to install anything.

Hi Eitan, I can only confirm you the printscreen is a generating a different image format, not directly managed from Uniface. To directly manage it in Uniface you need to add to your configuration an image filter like the one still available for WMF from old times. A very nice program to do batch conversions is "Irfan Viewer". It converts from format to format easily from command line; the convert action could also be applied to all images in a specific directory having as destination another specific directory. Converting clipboard PrintScreen to JPG is as simple as: i_view32.exe /clippaste /convert=myImg.jpg /killmesoftly Another image manipulation program with very powerful command line options is ImageMagick. Hope it helps you... :-) Gianni

Hi Eitan, I think that I might have found a workaround for this: when you paste an image from the Windows clipboard to a HTML field then you can copy it from there to a Picture field using some JavaScript code. I've found the following JavaScript sample code that does the part to copy the image from the Clipboard and convert it to a PNG image in Base64 format: http://jsfiddle.net/bt7BU/225/ I've also create a small sample form that demonstrates the complete process (see "Copy image from Windows Clipboard to Picture field" in the Community Samples). Hope this helps. Daniel

Thanks, but as I've mentioned before, I cannot use a 3rd party utility.
