Copying HBITMAP to clipboard as CF_DIB

[aewarnick]

aBmp* b= setts.imArr[imList.SelInd()]->bmp;
ushort sizeofBmpInfoHead= sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
BITMAPINFO bi;
memset( & bi.bmiHeader, 0, sizeofBmpInfoHead);
bi.bmiHeader.biSize= sizeofBmpInfoHead;
bi.bmiHeader.biWidth= b->W;
bi.bmiHeader.biHeight= b->H;
bi.bmiHeader.biPlanes= 1;
bi.bmiHeader.biBitCount= b->bpp;
uint sz= sizeof(bi)+b->WBits*b->H;
char* c=new char[sz];
memcpy(c, &bi, sizeof(bi));
memcpy(c+sizeof(bi), b->pBits, b->WBits*b->H);
CB::ToCB_Bmp(Hwnd, c, sz);
delete[]c;

//...more code...

::SetClipboardData(CF_DIB, hGlobal);
Did I do something wrong there. This works but the colors are all messed up and the images are 24 bit.

Maybe this (http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/G-M/bitmap/article.php/c1715/) article helps you.

Nope, had already come accross that article. It uses MFC so everything important is hidden and I don't use MFC. So it's useless to me. Thanks for trying.

Can you provide sample code that reproduces this error so we can test it? Or post your project? Or your code in the way we can easily use it...?

It's not an error. The colors of the image are just shifted. I'm missing something in the code posted above. The shift takes place somewhere in here:
ushort sizeofBmpInfoHead= sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER);
BITMAPINFO bi;
memset( & bi.bmiHeader, 0, sizeofBmpInfoHead);
bi.bmiHeader.biSize= sizeofBmpInfoHead;
bi.bmiHeader.biWidth= b->W;
bi.bmiHeader.biHeight= b->H;
bi.bmiHeader.biPlanes= 1;
bi.bmiHeader.biBitCount= b->bpp;
uint sz= sizeof(bi)+b->WBits*b->H;
char* c=new char[sz];
memcpy(c, &bi, sizeof(bi));
memcpy(c+sizeof(bi), b->pBits, b->WBits*b->H);I'm probably missing a sizeof or something because my aBmp class is ok.
