How to copy formsMap content into Clipboard (c#)

I tried to capture the formsMap content into the WIndows Clipboard via C# programming. Here's how I succeeded:

Code: Select all

private void btnMap2Clipboard_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(formsMap1.Width, formsMap1.Height);
    formsMap1.DrawToBitmap(bitmap, new Rectangle(0, 0, bitmap.Width, bitmap.Height));
    Clipboard.SetImage(bitmap);
}

Be aware that this approach copies not only the map itself but also all control connected "subcontrols" such as

Zoom slider
Magnifier
Coordinates...
