My comment:

The clipboard must stay opened during the procedure and only then closed. The handle to the clipboard content is retrieved via the GetClipboardData call.

If this is a bitmap handle, then the code is invoked that is very much like the Storing screen shot of a form to a bitmap file.

The target file is a 24 bit per pixel bitmap.
