import bitmap only possible from clipboard or file?

[peteratoce]

Hello,
I have created a COM dll with a method that returns a bitmap. Though the dll
can be referenced from VBA in Word, there seems to be no object / method in
Word to directly accept a bitmap. The only alternatives I found was to add my
bitmap to the InlineShapes either from file or from the clipboard.

Has anyone an idea on how to approach this issue , or even knows of a
solution?

1. Save the bitmap to a file, and then insert the file using the
Shapes.AddPicture or InlineShapes.AddPicture method (depending on whether
you want the bitmap added floating or inline.

2. Place the bitmap on the clipboard and use the Paste or PasteSpecial or
PasteAndFormat method to insert the clipboard contents into the document.

There is no other method I know of.
