Example:

 
Copy Code
AT_DIMENSION   nWidth, nHeight;   /* holds the images's width and height   */
UINT           nBpp;              /* holds the bits per pixel   */
AT_ERRCOUNT    nErrcount; /* holds athe returned error count */
BOOL           bPasteAvail;     /* TRUE if a pasteable image is on the clipboard */
 /* If a pasteable image is on the clipboard, get its dimensions: */
IG_clipboard_paste_available ( &bPasteAvail);
if ( bPasteAvail )
  { 
nErrcount = IG_clipboard_dimensions ( &nWidth, &nHeight, &nBpp ); 
  }

Remarks:

Prior to calling this function you should call IG_clipboard_paste_available_ex(), to verify that there is an image that can be pasted in the system clipboard.
