Can't get bitmap from the clipboard

[chuck rudolph]

Depending on the program that does the copy, my c# program can not get the
bitmap data off the clipboard. The code used to get the data is:

IDataObject o = Clipboard.GetDa taObject();
if (o.GetDataPrese nt(typeof(Bitma p)))
{
Bitmap bm = (Bitmap)o.GetDa ta(typeof(Bitma p));
if (bm != null)
{
this.pictureBox 1.Image = bm;
this.pictureBox 1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeM ode.StretchImag e;
}
else
MessageBox.Show ("Bitmap is null?!");
}
else
MessageBox.Show ("Not a bitmap!");

Here's the deal... If Word, Paint, or a test c# program copy a bitmap to the
clipboard I can get it with the code snippet above. However, if StorComm's
medview program does the copy to the clipboard, the GetDataPresent reports
that a bitmap is there, but the Getdata returns a null. However, Paint and
Word can both paste this image.

Any ideas on ways to solve this would be appreciated...C huck
