How to copy an image file to the clipboard?

[jacQues]

I'm pretty sure that I am very close here, but it isn't working yet. The calls to user32.dll all seem to work (no MsgBox poping up), but when pasting nothing happens.

Can anyone point me as to what I'm doing wrong please?

#Include <GDIPlus.au3>

_GDIPlus_Startup()
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\guest.bmp")
$hBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hImage)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)

$hDll = DllOpen("User32.dll")
$aRet = DllCall($hDll,"int","OpenClipboard","hwnd",0); also tried GUICreate("test"))
if $aRet[0]=0 then exit(msgbox(0,"error","OpenClipboard"))
$aRet = DllCall($hDll,"int","EmptyClipboard")
if $aRet[0]=0 then exit(msgbox(0,"error","EmptyClipboard"))
$aRet = DllCall($hDll,"int","SetClipboardData","int",2,"hwnd",$hBitmap); also tried "ptr"
if $aRet[0]=0 then msgbox(0,"error","SetClipboardData")
$aRet = DllCall($hDll,"int","CloseClipboard")
if $aRet[0]=0 then exit(msgbox(0,"error","CloseClipboard"))
DllClose($hDll)

_WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap)
_GDIPlus_ShutDown()

I did not know that, too. I searched a lot and somewhere I found this solution

BTW, one thing I did find is this:

Func _GDIPlus_ImageCreateGDICompatibleHBITMAP($hImg)
    Local $hBitmap2 = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hImg)
    Local $hBitmap = _WinAPI_CopyImage($hBitmap2,0,0,0,$LR_COPYDELETEORG+$LR_COPYRETURNORG)
    _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap2)  <=- fails, is already deleted?
    Return $hBitmap
EndFunc
