Add Picture to rich textbox using pure win32 api

[blastingblast]

I am working on a pure win32 api(non MFC) richtextbox. I found the following code for mfc richtextboxes.

Bitmap imageObject = (Bitmap)Image.FromFile(@"C:\2.gif");

Clipboard.SetDataObject(imageObject,false);
IDataObject iData = Clipboard.GetDataObject();
bool bDataPresent = iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap);

System.Drawing.Imaging.BitmapData meta = (System.Drawing.Imaging.BitmapData)iData.GetData(DataFormats.MetafilePict);

if ( bDataPresent )
richTextBox1.Paste(DataFormats.GetFormat(DataFormats.Bitmap));

However i'm having problems converting this to pure win32. Appreciate any help in this matter.Thanks in advance.

Looks more like .NET code than MFC. Try that forum.

This is the code that i have so far

//hwnd is the handle to my richtextbox
if ( OpenClipboard(hwnd) )
{
HBITMAP hbmp1=(HBITMAP)LoadImage(0,lpszFileName,IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADFROMFILE);

SetClipboardData(CF_BITMAP,hbmp1);
CloseClipboard();

SendMessage(hwnd,WM_PASTE,0,0);

}

This however seems to have no effect.Please help

Too late reply from me, bit may help readers who end up searching in google:

Enable the richtext with following styles or sending message when creating it
SendMessage(hwnd, EM_CANPASTE, CF_BITMAP | CF_TEXT | CF_UNICODETEXT | CF_DIB, 0);

I hope it helps.
