L_LTDIS_API L_INT L_CopyToClipboard(hWnd, pBitmap, uFlags)

L_HWND hWnd;	/* handle to the active window */
pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_UINT uFlags;	/* indicates how image data is placed on the clipboard */

Copies the RGB or raster image data from a specified bitmap to the clipboard. With this extended function, you can control how image data is placed on the clipboard.

Parameter	Description
hWnd	Handle to the active window.
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to be copied.
uFlags	Indicates how image data is placed on the clipboard. You can use a bitwise OR ( \| ) to pass more than one value. Valid values are:
	Value	Meaning
	COPY2CB_EMPTY	[0x0001] Empty the clipboard before copying data to it.
	COPY2CB_DIB	[0x0002] Copy DIB data to the clipboard.
	COPY2CB_DDB	[0x0004] Copy DDB data to the clipboard.
	COPY2CB_PALETTE	[0x0008] Copy palette data to the clipboard.
	COPY2CB_RGN	[0x0010] Copy the bitmap's region to the clipboard.
	If you specify all of the values it is the same as using the L_CopyToClipboard function.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

The clipboard will contain the same width, height, bits per pixel, and color order as the image in the bitmap.

Example

This example loads a bitmap, copies only the DIB data to the clipboard, and deletes the original bitmap.

#define MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(pFileName) TEXT("C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\LEADTOOLS Images\\")pFileName


 L_INT CopyToClipboardExample(L_HWND hWnd)
{
   L_INT nRet;
   BITMAPHANDLE LeadBitmap;   /* Bitmap handle for the image */

   /* Load a bitmap, keeping its own bits per pixel */
   nRet = L_LoadBitmap (MAKE_IMAGE_PATH(TEXT("ImageProcessingDemo\\Image3.cmp")), &LeadBitmap, sizeof(BITMAPHANDLE), 0, ORDER_BGR, NULL, NULL);
   if(nRet != SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   /* Copy the bitmap to the clipboard */
   nRet = L_CopyToClipboard (hWnd, &LeadBitmap, COPY2CB_EMPTY | COPY2CB_DIB);
   if(nRet != SUCCESS)
      return nRet;
   /* Delete the original bitmap, leaving the copy in the clipboard */
   L_FreeBitmap(&LeadBitmap);
   return SUCCESS;
}
