| Hi,
|
| I'm using VB to copy the excel content and paste it in powerpoint.
| Due to some reason, i'm locking the clipboard to avoid user copy paste
| while doing this task
| I'm using the below steps to lock the clipboard and release.
|
| step 1 - Openclipboard
| step 2 - EmptyClipboard
| step 3 - use excel range.copy (or copypicture) to copy the content to
| clipboard
| step 4 - paste the content in the powerpoint
| step 5 - CloseClipboard
|
|
| Following are the issues im facing while doing this task:
|
| 1. I'm not able to use range.CopyPicture method after locking the
| clipboard (Error is "Cannot Empty the clipbard")
| (Please note that excel is present as the COM server (server object is
| created using the create object method))
|
|
| Is there a alternate way to achieve the above
|
| Your suggestions are most welcome
|
| Thanks & Regards,
| Ahmed.
