Copying and pasting an Excel Shape object to a VBA user form image

I'm trying to copy and past an Excel Shape object to a VBA user form image but can't seem to figure it out.


The code I have so far is this:


Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()

Dim pic As Shape


Set pic = ActiveSheet.Shapes(ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count)

pic.CopyPicture xlScreen, xlBitmap

End Sub
 
Hi, jjosa!


Never been faced with such issue, so let me think while writing.


You got the image in the clipboard yet, first step ok.


Now how do you move that image to an image control on a userform? The only way is thru the Picture property and the LoadPicture statement that needs a file name with full path.

So the problem is how to generate that file... There are APIs (application program interfaces) that handle clipboard contents... Let me see...


I found them, but why reinventing the wheel? Give a look at this link:

But it doesn't work (it actually hangs badly) in Excel 2010. Maybe it helps you, if I find anything else (or the time to build access to clipboard and copy image) I'll post again.


Good luck.


Regards!

The file below has some ideas on this topic.. It is not functioning fully.
Has some problem with the userform layout redraw when controls are clicked.
The Images work great.. the command buttons sick.. the labels failing.
If useful use any parts you like .. If you find the LOST ??? problem let all know
