Picture image from clipboard into image view

[Fredo_d_o]

Hi all

Here my small problem:

I would like to insert an image in a “image view”, but I do not use a document image, I recover the image, as “picture” format, resulting from the “clipboard”…

How do I have to make to insert and display this image in the “image view”?

For exemple :

set myImage to (the clipboard as picture)
--> «data PICT01100031000E00370013001102FF0C00FFF ... 00CC0088BBFCC000FF»
tell window of theObject to set image of image view "myImage" to myImage
--> error ...

I did not find any solution for the moment…
Would somebody have a solution to propose me?

Thank you…

I think you have to do a little Obj-C and then call that from your AppleScript. If you add an Obj-C class called “Methods” (don’t create the header file) and paste this into it (replace the complete contents of the file):

#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>

@interface Methods : NSObject
+(void)setImageToPasteboard:(NSImageView *)theImageView withPastboard:(NSPasteboard *)thePasteboard;
@end

@implementation Methods
+(void)setImageToPasteboard:(NSImageView *)theImageView withPastboard:(NSPasteboard *)thePasteboard {
if ([NSImage canInitWithPasteboard:thePasteboard]) {
[theImageView setImage:[[NSImage alloc] initWithPasteboard:thePasteboard]];
}
}
@end

Then you could call it from AppleScript like so:

set preferred type of pasteboard 1 to "pict image"
call method "setImageToPasteboard:withPastboard:" of class "Methods" with parameters {image view "myImage" of window of theObject, pasteboard 1}

Hi

WOUW !!! … really Jon?

There is no direct and simply technique with AppleScript?

Ok, let me see that…

…

Ok, but I never do that before…
I will try to do it, but blindness, because I do not understand anything to the Obj-C language…

In any case, Jon, Ã BIG thank you for this help
