pasteface method crashing outlook

[pasteface method crashing outlook]

Hi,
I facing a problem while writing an Outllok addin in ATL COM. My Outlook
addin was throwing an Exception. Does
anyone has any idea why PasteFace() method is throwing an exception while
pasting a bitmap from clipboard on to the Button?

code:

hBmp =(HBITMAP)::LoadImage(_Module.GetResourceInstance(),
MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_WORKSMARTBAR),IMAGE_BITMAP,0,0,LR_LOADMAP3DCOLORS);

m_Clipboard.Backup();

::OpenClipboard(NULL);
::EmptyClipboard();
::SetClipboardData(CF_BITMAP, (HANDLE)hBmp);
::CloseClipboard();

spWSOpenBtn->PutStyle(Office::msoButtonIconAndCaption);

hr = spWSOpenBtn->PasteFace();

This group is for custom Outlook forms programming, BTW.

What are the specs of the bitmap you are putting on the clipboard? Is it a
16x16x156 color bitmap? If you are doing any masking or manipulation of the
bitmap are you putting it on the clipboard as a packed dib and not a dib
section?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using 16X16X256 bitmaps. It's work fine in my development system but
crashes the outlook in one of the client system(Vista Business Edition).

Thanks

If it works OK on one machine and not another you need to see what's
different and/or missing on the other machine. Look for any missing
dependencies also.

Ken

The OS version in which Outlook crashes on using Pasteface method is Vista
Business Edition. Do I need to add any additional Re-Distribution packages or
need to update .NET framework?

I've never had PasteFace problems on any Vista edition, and I don't deploy
anything differently for Vista than Windows XP or Windows 2000.

I don't do C++ code so I won't even attempt to evaluate your code.
