Copying and pasting an image into a rich text field

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Ok let me start out by saying that yes I have searched the forum for this answer and I believe the answer is no, but my client wants this so I need to try.

We have a help desk application where anyone can create a help desk ticket from the web.

One of the requirements is the ability for the end user to do a print screen from their workstation and paste that image, using their browser into a rich text field.

This is necessary in order to let the technician

see what problem(s) the user is experiencing.

Has anyone been able to do this from a browser?

I would prefere a simple solution, but I am willing to present whatever someone has. I believe if there is a solution to this problem that it will be an involved one.

Thanks.

Pretty sure that you can do this but maybe not with the RichText field. Domino Web Access (inotes as was) uses the MicroSoft RichText ActiveX control which allows you todo lots of RichText manipulation using a WYSIWIG type editor. Take a look at the Sandbox for DHTML Rich Text Editing:

I used this in another application with some modifications and it was pretty cool.

Hope it helps.

Nathan,

Thanks for the post, but unforunately that database does not allow for pasting of images into the document.

The search contines.

apologies if I got the wrong end of the stick? You can upload images into the RichText control but (drag and drop and resize), but as you said, you can’t paste from the clipboard. I’m not convinced that that is out there. good luck hunting.
