Vlad,

Thanks for your ideas. They make sense. I was hoping someone had already implemented this solution. If we come up with a solution, I will post it here for everyone to use.

Thanks again!
Malcolm

From what I understood, you need to use OpenClipboard(), CloseClipboard() and GetClipboardData() API functions and proper format of data in clipboard. To convert image in memory to file and vise versa - find "Bitmaps" topic for Platform SDK: Windows GDI. There is a reference to "Using Bitmaps" and then "Storing an Image" page. There is a C++ sample for writing bitmap into the file (though I afraid it will be hard to convert to VFP, but probably possible). Thats all that I found, maybe somebody else jump in and propose more simple solution.

We would also like a way to load the contents of an image file to the clipboard where the image could be pasted into other applications. There are probably issues about image formats (ico, bmp, gif, jpg) that I should be worried about. Any thoughts on this 'worry' would be appreciated as well.
