Enhanced Metafiles

Thanks for any help provided.

How can I access enhancedmetafile format images in the Windows clipboard?
The images appear when you use the clipbook viewer in the "Clipboard" not the
"Local Clipboard". I can paste these images into the MS Paint Application
with no problem. The application producing the images will only create an
EMF (it is the AutoDesk MapGuide activex control version 6.3).
It appears as if there is a known problem with .Net and EMF format images.
Can I simply save the clipboard emf data to a local file (.tif) or (.bmp) to
allow access/use?

Here is the code I have tried to use to get these to work in my application.
PictureBox1.Image =
Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetData(DataFormats.Metafi lePict, True)
PictureBox1.Image =
Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetData(DataFormats.Enhanc edMetafile, True)

I have tried to use this kb article to work around this problem with no luck:
"323530 Metafiles on Clipboard Are Not Visible to All Applications"
