h=hwnd(#1)

filedialog "Open","*.bmp",bmpfile$
if bmpfile$="" then [quit]

loadbmp "forclip",bmpfile$
hBitmap=hbmp("forclip")'get bmp handle

'open clipboard:

'put bmp data on clipboard:

    hBitmap as long, rethandle as long

'see if bmp data is on clipboard
calldll #user32, "GetClipboardData",_CF_BITMAP as long,_
    hBmp as long

'if bmpdata is on clipboard, load the bmp and draw it
if hBmp<>0 then
    loadbmp "demo",hBmp
    print #1.g, "down;fill lightgray;drawbmp demo 0 0;flush"

Hello erverybody,

If I had to guess, I'd say the language is Liberty BASIC

I'm glad Larry was able to help

The picture would need a file name. Windows could theoretically generate one--if I recall correctly, it was possible to save clipboard scraps *.shd files or something--but Windows doesn't do that for pictures....

When you copy and paste a file, the clipboard contains a reference to that file rather than the contents of that file....
