There are several popular Image Clipboard Formats, such as DIB v5,
Bitmap, DIB, PNG, etc. What these formats have in common is that they can all contain only a single image at a time. I wonder, therefore, if there are clipboard formats that can each contain several different images in a clip. This would be practical, for example, if you want to copy the images of an ImageEnMView control to the clipboard. If such a Multi-Image Clipboard Format does not exist, we should create one. |

Hi Peter
AFAIK, there is not a generally supported multi-image clipboard format. If we were to create one it could only be used within ImageEn derived applications, which would greatly limits its utility.

We could create a format that, in the future, could become a common standard.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions?
It seems strange that such a multi-image clipboard format has never evolved in Windows. Does it exist in the Mac world? |

Hi Peter
ImageEn already allows multiple image layers to be copied to the clipboard, which is the main usage, as it see it. If Adobe et al. want to adopt the standard, we won't stop them.

"ImageEn already allows multiple image layers to be copied to the clipboard"
So how would you copy all the images in an ImageEnMView or in a TIEMultiBitmap to the clipboard?
