How to copy bitmap from clipboard to view?

I visited www.codeguru.com.
But it didn't helped me in any way.

1. Problems with your code

(i) On clipboard CF_DIB is device independant bitmap, you should be looking for CF_BITMAP if you want an HBITMAP

(ii) BitBlt stuff is wrong
- you can't cast pDC to HDC - you pDC->m_hDC
- you can't cast hBitmap to HDC, use
HDC hdcBitmap = ::CreateCompatibleDC( pDC->m_hDC ) ;
::SelectObject( hdcBitmap, hBitmap ) ;
then change "(HDC)hBitmap" to hdcBitmap
- get rid of GetDC.  If you have pDC to draw on the view, you don't need it
- clean up code for bitmap and DC required
DeleteDC( hdcBitmap ) ;
DeleteObject( hBitmap ) ;
- BitBlt scaling params incorrect, you wanna make these match the bitmap size, try
BITMAP bm ;
::GetObject( hBitmap, sizeof bm, &bm ) ;
replace 800 with bm.bmWidth
replace 600 with bm.bmHeight

2. To save to file an HBITMAP

Goto http://www.codeguru.com/bitmap/index.shtml

Use code from here
"Converting DDB to DIB - Zafir Anjum (1998/08/05)" to convert your HBITMAP to DIB

Use code from here
"Writing a bitmap to a BMP file - Zafir Anjum (1998/08/05) " to save your DIB to a file.


3. Remember

DIB = Device Independant Bitmap - identified by a HANDLE
DDB = Device Dependant Bitmap - identified by an HBITMAP

HDC = a device context - the thing you draw to.  - C type is HDC
CDC = MFC wrapper round an HDC. C++ type is CDC

Convert HDC to CDC using
CDC::FromHandle( hDC ) ;

Convert CDC to HDC using
pDC->m_hDC

Dear brother,

after getobject() the values are as follows.
bm.width = 1598196250
bm.height = 1244584
all functions are returning 1.
But I didn't see the bitmap on view
The following code is not printing bitmap on view
I didn't under stood why?
Help me please....

void CCboardView::OnDraw(CDC* pDC)
{

BOOL dFlag;      
HANDLE hBitmap;            
HDC hdcBitmap;
BITMAP bm;
      
dFlag = ::OpenClipboard(m_hWnd);             
hBitmap = ::GetClipboardData(CF_DIB);            
hdcBitmap= ::CreateCompatibleDC(pDC->m_hDC);           
::GetObject(hBitmap, sizeof bm, &bm );
   
dFlag = ::BitBlt(pDC->m_hDC,0,0,bm.bmWidth,bm.bmHeight,hdcBitmap,0,0,SRCCOPY);             

dFlag = ::CloseClipboard();

DeleteDC(hdcBitmap);
DeleteObject(hBitmap);

}

Thank you.

Now One more problem. How to save the bitmap to .BMP file?
