{| = PRB: Cannot Print Graphical Image from Clipboard =
 * width="100%"|

ID: Q101800

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS
When you try to print a graphical image from the Windows Clipboard using FoxPro for Windows, a blank page is ejected from the printer.

CAUSE
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.

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.
