Screen Capture

[David Kuok]

Dear Experts,

In my ASP application, I have a chart that will popup in a
new window. From the opener window, I want to add a button
that will capture the chart to the clipboard and be able
to paste it to other application. I just want the client
area and don't want to include menu bar, address bar and
so forth.

Can I do that with pure asp without a component?

Regards

ASP has no clue what a clipboard or a window is. It runs on the server.

Also, who's other application? The client's? You won't be able to do this
without an ActiveX that the client has downloaded.

Don,

Thanks for your response.

I would like to be able to paste it to PowerPoint. If I
need to have an ActiveX component, how can I get that done?

Of course not, ASP is only server-side ...

Although you can not capture the chart, you can do something better. You can
1. create an excel file, put the values and place the chart (in a way or
another ), or
2. you can redraw the chart as a jpg using a component like ASPImage and
visitors save it.
