Copying image to clipboard

[r8ven]

I am using smartgwt 2.2 for my application. I have customized context menu on right click on an image, I need to add a copy to systems clipboard functionality so i can copy an image from app then paste in somewhere else like (paint) . Is there a way I can accomplish it using customized menu?


thanks

It is browser specific, in IE you can do it with createControlRange coupled with an execCommand("Copy") if you know the id of the DIV with the image.

Otherwise the cross-browser solutions involve using a flash file but usually not very solid. Other than IE you can't directly access the clipboard.
