1. To Guillermo and CChris: re pasting to the Clipboard
Hi,
Good stuff! I hope Clipboard functions of this type are made available in
win32lib.
And the specific command to paste from the Clipboard into MS Paint (or wherever)
would be...what?

2. Re: To Guillermo and CChris: re pasting to the Clipboard
There may be some confusion with the word 'Paste'.
Paste refers to what is done at the receiving end (Paint). The phrase 'paste to
the clipboard' should be 'copy to the clipboard'.
My main issue with the first post was how to get the bitmap into the bitmap
structure. The first post shows the clipboard operations. And the second post
uses what I was thinking Windows must do internally when you drag a window around
the screen. There is obviously a very fast routine which reads the bitmap and
relocates it. I need to digest all of this now. Thanks.

Hi to all messing with the Clipboard and MS Paint,
I tried both Guillermo's code and CChris's. There were in CChris's untested
code some errors which I think I fixed (e.g. c_func instead of c_proc,
etc.), but couldn't get it to work. However, Guillermo's code did work on a
little text.bmp I made. So the cause is advanced some. Still can't find any
way to cause a paste on bringing up MS Paint :( There just has to be a way...
