I've got a TImage component (imgMonitor below) that is displaying an icon 
via ExtractIcon().  The problem is that the Windows clipboard doesn't 
support icons.  I've tried creating a TBitmap and coping it and assigning it 
to the clipboard (see code below), but programs throw errors when attempting 
to paste.  Any ideas on how to get this to work?

    Graphics::TBitmap *tBitmap = new Graphics::TBitmap;

    tBitmap->Width = imgMonitor->Picture->Bitmap->Width;
    tBitmap->Height = imgMonitor->Picture->Bitmap->Height;
    tBitmap->PixelFormat = imgMonitor->Picture->Bitmap->PixelFormat;
    tBitmap->Canvas->Draw(0,0,imgMonitor->Picture->Icon);
    imgMonitor->Picture->Graphic = tBitmap;
    Clipboard()->Assign(imgMonitor->Picture);
    delete tBitmap;

Thanks,
Jeff
