Example

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

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; 
}
