SYMPTOMS

FoxPro for Windows is designed to print only text information from the Clipboard. FoxPro initializes/returns information to or from the Clipboard by way of the system memory variable _CLIPTEXT. _CLIPTEXT, by design, is not intended to handle graphical images.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

  1. Copy a bitmap from Paintbrush to the Clipboard.

  2. In FoxPro for Windows, choose Print from the File menu, and select Clipboard from the Windows list box.

The resulting output is a blank page.
