place capture in clipboard in stead of writing it to file VBA macro

[sihox]

hey all,

I have a vba macro which modifies the graphical properties of some parts in a hughe assy. when this is done I want to make a capture of this situation and paste it in powerpoint presentations. about this final actions I have 2 querries:

1. is there a way to place the capture on the clipboard in stead of writing it to a file using the capturetofile command. such that I can just use CTRL+V where I want it. when doing the capture action manually this is pretty straight forward but I couldnt figure it in VBA.
2. I placed the tree and compass in hide however in the lower right corner of the screen I still have that small axis system visible. is there any way of Hidding it or cropping it out?

any help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi,

1. There is a macro on this forum using paste directly in powerpoint, use search function to find it.
2. Maybe something like this ?

'change the picture size, which is by default active window size
Set win = CATIA.ActiveWindow
curH = win.Height 'save current window's Height
curW = win.Width 'save current window's width

sLF = Chr(10)
 win.Height = InputBox ("Here you can change the picture Height, the starting point is upper left corner", "Change picture Height", win.Height )
If win.Height = "" Then
    Exit Sub
End If

sLF = Chr(10)
 win.Width = InputBox ("Here you can change the picture Width, the starting point is upper left corner", "Change picture Width", win.Width )
If win.Width = "" Then
    Exit Sub
End If

Regards
Fernando
