The following code example demonstrates a Button control that copies itself to the Clipboard when the user clicks it. The Click event handler of the button calls the CopyPicture method to copy the button to the Clipboard as a bitmap.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void CopyControlAsPicture()
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button copyButton =
        this.Controls.AddButton(this.Range["B2", "D3"],
        "copyButton");

    copyButton.Text = "Click to copy this control";
    copyButton.Click += new EventHandler(copyButtonPicture_Click);
}

void copyButtonPicture_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button clickedButton =
        (Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button)sender;

    clickedButton.CopyPicture(
        Excel.XlPictureAppearance.xlScreen,
        Excel.XlCopyPictureFormat.xlBitmap);
}

Private Sub CopyControlAsPicture()
    Dim CopyButton As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button = _
        Me.Controls.AddButton(Me.Range("B2", "D3"), "CopyButton")

    CopyButton.Text = "Click to copy this control"
    AddHandler CopyButton.Click, AddressOf copyButtonPicture_Click
End Sub


Private Sub CopyButtonPicture_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim ClickedButton As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button = _
        CType(sender, Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.Button)

    ClickedButton.CopyPicture(Excel.XlPictureAppearance.xlScreen, _
        Excel.XlCopyPictureFormat.xlBitmap)
