Re: Powerpoint: trigger paste clipboard

Hi @hogi,

My favorite way to do things like this (on my Mac) is to use RunProgram() to run some AppleScript. Here's my process there, which I hope will be helpful if you're adapting for Windows.

 

On the JMP side, we're going to use RunProgram() to execute a bash script we'll make:

Run Program( Executable( "~/Desktop/pastePowerpoint" ) );

To make the bash script, we open a plain text file and write the bash to AppleScript invocation, and then the AppleScript. Here's the full contents of that plain text file:

#!/bin/bash

osascript <<END tell="" application=""></END>

Once we save that (with no extension), we need to make it executable. In Terminal, we can run the following (still assuming this is on your desktop):

chmod 755 ~/Desktop/pastePowerpoint

 

And that's it! Hope this helps!

Thanks @julian.

Concening Windows, ChatGPT suggested to use a PowerShell Script:
(assuming that the JSL script and ps1 code are saved in the same folder)

Try(Current Report()<< Copy Picture();
If( Host is( "Windows" ),
PowerShellScriptName= Convert File Path( "", windows ) ||"PastePicture.ps1";
runOptions = "-File \!""|| PowerShellScriptName||"\!"";
MyResult = Run Program(
 Executable( "PowerShell.exe" ),
 Options( {runOptions} ),
 ReadFunction( Function( {this}, Write( this << read ) ) )
)
));

pastePicture.ps1:

$ppt = New-Object -ComObject PowerPoint.Application
$ActivePPT = $ppt.ActiveWindow
if ($ActivePPT -eq $null) {
  return "no active ppt"
} else {
$slide=$activeppt.Presentation.Slides($ppt.ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.SlideNumber)
$shape = $slide.Shapes.Paste()
return 0
}

 

 

Powerpoint: trigger paste clipboard

Does Jmp have a possibility to trigger "paste clipboard" in Powerpoint - after copying a graph to the clipboard.
