Hi,

I have a program that runs Paint (..\System32\mspaint.exe)
and then pastes a graph I have in the Windows Clipboard
to it.   I am using:

hWnd=FindWindow("MSPaintApp", NULL);
BringWindowToTop(hWnd);

an then keybd_event(...); to push
keys in Paint's menu (Edit-Paste) but this method
doesn't work well sometimes, also if Paint's menu
is in other language other than English it
won't work. 

Is there other direct way to do this with APIs?

A snip on how to do this would be appreciated.

Dave
