Hi there,
I am obtaining a meta file from the clipboard via the following code
Dim CF_ENHMETAFILE As Integer = 14
Dim cMFeImage As Imaging.Metafil e
Dim pIPrClipboard As IntPtr = OpenClipboard(M e.Handle)
If (IsClipboardFor matAvailable(CF _ENHMETAFILE)) Then
Dim pIPrData As IntPtr = GetClipboardDat a(CF_ENHMETAFIL E)
cMFeImage = New Imaging.Metafil e(pIPrData, False)
Call cMFeImage.Save( "c:\pop.emf ", Imaging.ImageFo rmat.emf)
End If
Call CloseClipboard( )
If I display the image in a picture box and redraw it during resize it
looks great, definitely an EMF, but the saved image "pop.emf" is not an
EMF, more like a JPEG, it's been rasterised somewhere along the lines and
now looks awful.
Any ideas what's happening?
If you open a spreadsheet in excel and copy a chart to the clipboard you
can use that. Again, looks great in VB, but not when saved.
BTW, I have tried seeing the 2nd property of the MetaFile constructor to
True / False, same thing happens.
Many thanks in advance.
Nick.

It's okay, this problem was resolved.

Could you say how the problem was resolved, please? I'm curious.

This code causes a severe memory leak - the critical part is the
call to GetHenhmetafile().
System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile lImage =
new System.Drawing.Imaging.Metafile("C:\\meta0.emf");
IntPtr h = lImage.GetHenhmetafile();
lImage.Dispose();
lImage.GetLifetimeService();
lImage = null;

In .NET Windows forms I can create a metafile using this code:
Graphics grph = aControl.CreateGraphics();
IntPtr ipHDC = grph.GetHdc();
Metafile mf = new Metafile(aImgFilePath, ipHDC, EmfType.EmfOnly);
grph.ReleaseHdc(ipHDC);
grph.Dispose();
grph = Graphics.FromImage(mf);
grph.DrawRectangle(aPen, 10, 10, 100, 120);
grph.Dispose();

Hi
I need to retrieve a metafile image from the clipboard and render it as a
bitmap in my application. In particular, an image will be placed on the
clipboard by pasting from PowerPoint (I really do need to do this!). The
original image is a bitmap, but PowerPoint doesn't place it on the clipboard
as such. A call to GetFormats() indicates that MetafilePict and
EnhancedMetaFile are available formats.
The following does NOT work:

I am trying to create a metafile (.emf) on the harddisk, write graphics
from a graphics object to it, and then save it. I can do this
successfully except I cannot set the horizontal and vertical resolution
as those properties of my metafile object are read only and are in fact
null until the graphics object is disposed of and the file is saved.
When I examine the saved file's properties in Windows Explorer, it has
81 dpi horizontal and...

Hello,
I am using a library which returns a byte containing RAW data, ie all
pixels' color values coded in a byte array without header. I would like to
save those data into a JPEG file so I tried to use the MetaFile class.

I can get bitmaps from the clipboard, but how do I get Metafiles?
The specific instance I am testing is copying a piece of Word clip-art
into the clipboard and trying to read it in an application. It appears
as a metafile type but isn't recognized as an image.
Given:
DataObject copyObject;
copyObject = (DataObject)Clipboard.GetDataObject();
string types = copyObject.GetFormats();

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.
