Hello there,

I have a raw image data which is in type rgb24 (raw means rgb bits only, no header or anything).
I want to put it into the clipboard then paste it into MS Paint or MS office.
To do this, I searched 4 days and still can not be able to make a working code.
Can you please review my code below and see where I went wrong:

This code snipset can run but I can not paste any image to MS PAINT. There is an error message like this appears "Error getting the Clipboard Data.
There is not enough memory or resources to complete operation.
Close some program and then try again".

And sorry for my bad english.

<my problem="s solved, I used another technique. Thanks ></xml>">

Solution 1

You can always try this:
Copying a DIB to the Clipboard[^]

You can also look at this (See Function 2: Copy a device-independent bitmap to clipboard<):

Solution 2

m_bi_src_.bmiHeader.biHeight = -i_height;

Is your i_height a negative value? Adding a bitmap with negative height to the clipboard would cause MSPaint to incorrectly calculate the required memory usage and complain.

1.) CF_DIB: copy the whole image header+bitmap bits into your global handle and put it into clipboard.
2.) CF_BITMAP: for 1.) its unnecessary to create a bitmap object (HBITMAP) but put it to the clipboard in this step.

at this this time i don't know who owns the handles, look at documentation for SetClipboardData.

good luck.
