[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Bitmap/Clipboard Question

Okay, after getting so much help on my other questions, here's another
one:

I want to put a BitMap on the Clipboard that never existed on the
screen.  I've tried CreateCompatibleDC and and BitBlt to create the
bitmap, but it doesn't seem to want to work unless I BitBlt it to the
real DC.  I've tried creating offscreen windows and windows that stay
behind other windows and drawing it there, but that only yields
garbage.  So, here's the challenge:

Pick a choice "circle" off a menu or some other input device, and then
draw the circle to the clipboard without it appearing anywhere on the
screen.

I await your wisdom.;-)
