Why does my screengrabber grab the transient highlight from the menu item that invoked it?

I am trying to copy the image to clipboard. I am using the following code.
void test::OnEditCopyImage()     // Copy to the Clipboard.
{
    bool clipboardAcceptedData = true;
    
    // Capture the window to a bitmap.
    COXScreenGrabber ScreenGrabber; 
    RECT rect;
      
    mainFrame->SetWindowPos(&CWnd::wndTopMost,0,0,0,0,SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE|SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
    GetParent()->GetWindowRect(&rect);  // get the rect of the frame, not just the graph
    
    ScreenGrabber.GrabRectangle(rect);
    COXDIB* pDib = ScreenGrabber.GetGrabDIB();
   
    VERIFY(OpenClipboard());
    VERIFY(EmptyClipboard()):// Remove the current Clipboard contents & reassign ownership.
    if (::SetClipboardData(CF_DIB, pDib->m_hDIB)==NULL)
    {
        AfxMessageBox(IDS_STRING123);
        clipboardAcceptedData = false;
    }
    
    CloseClipboard();
    //keep the bitmap 'alive', the clipboard now owns it.
    // Set the handle to NULL so that the destructor does not free the memory.
    if ( clipboardAcceptedData == true )
        pDib->m_hDIB = NULL; 
}

But the selected menu item 'COPY Image to ClipBoard' also appears on the image. It happens only when I run the program on Windows Vista/Windows 7. Works fine on WINDOWS XP. Can anyone help?

  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
