Hi Dragan,
In certainly share your views on MS-Office:-) ...And we already offer the usual array of image output formats that can cross borders. Both raster formats (png, jpeg, bmp), pdfs (both as embedded pixel-images and crisp "vectorial" primitives, nice!). But we have to cope with the facts that our corporate user-base definitely uses PPT and that ms-office is now opening up, although not fast enough, to SVG. When it comes to bundling visual output, our users will resort to PPT. Not cloud-based w3c-data-format-centric solutions... Nothing else even in 2019! MS-office ain't dead here.
It looks like what I am looking for - copying SVG content straight into clipboard - can be performed in C# in 2019:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35045500/copy-svg-image-stored-as-xml-string-to-windows-clipboard-as-image-svgxml-mime-tI have clean svg output i-e text within VFP. I wonder if there is any chance this could be done from within the good ol' VFP. Our app is a tight 18-MB application - our large VFP code base + vfp dlls + a host external parties - and we certainly do not want to run C# + dotnet bandwagon stuff just to get the comfort of an enhanced copy-to-clipboard. But there might be a win API trick I am not aware of:-)
Daniel
