I just found this message in my Gmail outbox that didn't go a couple of hours ago. It's out of sequence and was slightly off your topic, but here it is just in case it's useful as a warning -- Greg
============= Everything works, oh yeah! I just tried rendering different Clipboard images in a WPF Image control and sometimes it shows the correct size but it's blank. Web searching shows this: If you’ve ever tried to use the Clipboard.GetImage method in WPF, you probably had an unpleasant surprise… In fact, this method returns an InteropBitmap which, in some cases (most cases actually), can’t be displayed in an Image control : no exception is thrown, the image size is correct, but the image either appears empty or unrecognizable. The author then goes on<http://www.thomaslevesque.com/2009/02/05/wpf-paste-an-image-from-the-clipboard/>to show a morass of DIB manipulation code as a workaround, but I feel sure there is an easier way than that.
