31.3 How can I copy and paste images/graphs etc from MS Office to a PictureBox?
|
Since .NET uses it's own format that is not compatible with the EnhancedMetafile format you will have to use reflection to achieve this.
(From a posting in the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.drawing newsgroup)
|
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
|
public const uint CF_METAFILEPICT = 3;
|
public const uint CF_ENHMETAFILE = 14;
|
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, ExactSpelling=true)]
|
public static extern bool OpenClipboard(IntPtr hWndNewOwner);
|
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, ExactSpelling=true)]
|
public static extern bool CloseClipboard();
|
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, ExactSpelling=true)]
|
public static extern IntPtr GetClipboardData(uint format);
|
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, ExactSpelling=true)]
|
public static extern bool IsClipboardFormatAvailable(uint format);
|
//Pasting into PictureBox
|
if (OpenClipboard(this.Handle))
|
if (IsClipboardFormatAvailable(CF_ENHMETAFILE))
|
IntPtr ptr = GetClipboardData(CF_ENHMETAFILE);
|
if (!ptr.Equals(new IntPtr(0)))
|
Metafile metafile = new Metafile(ptr,true);
|
//Set the Image Property of PictureBox
|
this.pictureBox1.Image = metafile;
