hi rpk!
if u wanna store a image captured in clipboard to any bmp file u have to go with foillowing steps.
1> The clipboard must be open.
2>set the clipboard to type bitmap in its argument
3>getclipboard data with this direct API.It returns the handle of ur captured image.
4>read the file fully and write to newly opened/created bmp file character by character.U may go till u read the known number of bytes.
5>close the file and clipboard.
6> beware if the size is not compatible it will not so the image.

for vice-versa u cant just read .bmp file and put in clipboard.
U will have to go through concept og Virtual window.
That is create a compatible memory device context copy the image into virtual window and blast paint with bitblt to a window and then capture through VK_SNAPSHOT to clipboard.

i applied this steps while screen capturing in SDK so it will work for u too.if u still need code i will send u.

bye
