button image w/o using PasteFace/Clipboard

[Jerry Nettleton]

I'm using Office 2000 and have a COM add-in written in C++. Is there any way
to modify the toolbar button icon w/o using the clipboard and PasteFace()?
If not, do you have any sample code to save what's in the clipboard so I can
put the image there and restore the clipboard data after PasteFace.

Thanks,
Jerry

I found a solution to saving the clipboard data
(http://www.codeproject.com/clipboard/cbbackup.asp). If you have another
idea, please let me know.

But is there any other way w/o calling PasteFace()?

Hi

Based on my research, it seems that we have to use the clipboard to modify
the image, becaues Office did not expose interface for us to edit image in
the runtime.
If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.

This solution worked most of the time except when it came to the CF_BITMAP
format. I am looking for an ATL sample that shows how to copy a bitmap
to/from the clipboard.

Any samples?

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi

Based on my research, I did not find such a ATL sample, but here goes the
code use the clipboard API to do the CF_BITMAP
