Hi everybody,
I use a 'BackgroundWorker' to generate a word document in background. I want to insert a bitmap which is generate on the fly.
If I use this method (that work outside the thread) :

System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap;
[..]
System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.SetDataObject(bitmap);
[..]
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range range;
[..]
range.Paste();

I have an error :
Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA)
mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it.

How can I set the backgroundworker to be 'STA' Is there an another way to proceed


Thanks by advance.

Greg

Hi

If it's posible, save bitmap to the temporaty file, insert it to word document and then delete file.

Yours Markku

Tanks for your reply, it works now with :

[..]
bitmap.Save(Path.GetTempPath() + "[..]");
[..]
range.InlineShapes.AddPicture([..], ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);

in your program.cs file, make sure that static void Main() has [STAThread] attribute:

[STAThread]

static void Main()

{

Application.Run(new Form1()); //whatever the form is

}

No, this is not a solution. I do have [STAThread], but since doing it from a background thread, it doesn't seem to work that simple.

Probably we need to post a message to the main thread to handle it.
