Clipboard

[Stephan]

In order to insert pictures in a placeholder i use the function:

tmpPictureShape.Cut()
tmpPlaceholderShape.Select()
tmpWindow.View.Paste()

This works quite good. But if I do this repeatedly accessing the Clipboard
becomes very very slow....

What I'm doing:
1) Select pictures in my document management system
1.1) Remoting call to my dms
1.2) DMS checks the clipboard in order to enable/disable copy paste
functions <--This lasts very long (Clipboard.Clear()) or forever
(Clipboard.GetDataObject()))
1.3) Select the images
1.4) ...
1.X) Return pictures to PowerPoint
2) Paste the pictures in the placeholder shapes

Seems as PowerPoint locks the Clipboard.

Can I clear the clipboard or disable it ...
