Hi Herman,

>You're welcome. Let me know if you need some help :-)

Thanks for helping me out. I really, really appreciate your help. :)

Here's where I'm at: Thanks to you I can successfully detect the presence of image data being dropped on my VFP image control. And now I can even read the data via oDataObject.GetData( CF_DIB )!

Unfortunately, I can't figure out what to do with the binary data stream that .GetData( CF_DIB ) returns. I don't think that .GetData( CF_DIB ) is returning valid DIB data and here's why: If I strtofile( .GetData( CF_DIB ), "TEMP.DIB" ) I can't view TEMP.DIB using VFP's image control, MS Paint, or the IrfanView image utility. This leads me to believe that either:

1. the data I'm retrieving isn't a raw DIB data stream

2. the data I'm retrieving is DIB data but missing a special type of data header/prefix and/or data suffix

3. VFP's implementation of .GetData() has a problem returning data of type CF_DIB and thus I'm getting corrupted DIB data?

4. some other reason?

Any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again for your help, Herman,

Malcolm
