Copying a transparent 32 bit bitmap to the clipboard

Hi All,
I am struggling with this from 48 hours and cannot succeed, of course
I've tried:

DataObject dObj = new DataObject();
dObj.SetData(Da taFormats.Bitma p, false, bitmap);
Clipboard.SetDa taObject(dObj, true);

and

Clipboard.SetIm age(bitmap);

But nothing: tranparency DOES NOT pass trough.

What is the secret?
Thanks,

Alberto

Alberto,

I have not tried it but it looks like this page discusses this issue.

http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_net_c...age_shape.html

btw, I googled for "copy transparent bitmap to clipboard" to find this page.

Hi folks, I know how to place text into the user's clipboard: Clipboard.SetDataObject("My Copied Text"); but how do I place a file in there? So, if I have a file C:\test.txt, how can I place that file into the user's clipboard so that they can later paste it into explorer? Thanks!!!

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.GetDataObject(); if (o.GetDataPresent(typeof(Bitmap))) { Bitmap bm = (Bitmap)o.GetData(typeof(Bitmap)); if (bm != null) { this.pictureBox1.Image = bm;

Hello, I have an application which requires an image to be retrived from the clipboard. So, I am writting a quick C# windows application to take images from a webcam and store a single frame on the clipboard so it can be pasted into this other application. My solution is working fine with all applications (mspaint, word, wordpad) except the one I need it to work with. I've contacted the vendor of the application, but I haven't been able...

I've been looking on the Internet for a way to convert a DIB to a Bitmap without success. Now I'm wondering if that is the approach I should be taking. All I want to do is display the DIB or draw it into a Bitmap. Is there a graphics method that can help?

On the Internet there are many descriptions of the memory layout for a DIB. But none that I can find for a Bitmap. Is that because a Bitmap's layout depends on a related device. If that's the case, is a clipboard's Bitmap layout always related to the screen?

I trying to learn what a Bitmap is. Not a Managed Bitmap Object but one that, for example, comes from the clipboard with CF_BITMAP. I'm guessing that a CompatableBitmap is an array of indices that point to the colors in a Palette of the display driver. So if I get a bitmap via CF_BITMAP I need to also get a Palette off the clipboard and realize it then display the bitmap. I believe "Realize it" means to put it into the display driver.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
