Copying a transparent 32 bit bitmap to the clipboard

Hi All,


I am struggling with this from 48 hours and cannot succeed, of course
I've tried:

DataObject dObj = new DataObject();
dObj.SetData(DataFormats.Bitmap, false, bitmap);
Clipboard.SetDataObject(dObj, true);

and

Clipboard.SetImage(bitmap);

But nothing: tranparency DOES NOT pass trough.

What is the secret?


Thanks,

Alberto

Alberto,

I have not tried it but it looks like this page discusses this issue.

btw, I googled for "copy transparent bitmap to clipboard" to find this page.
