I need to create a standalone Windows application, which reads an image from the system clipboard and does some OCR.
So basically, I need access to the clipboard graphics data, some functionality to work with the bitmap at pixel level and then to store text data in a file.
Is it something which is easy to do with U++ ?
Thanks!

Take a look at PixRaster - PixRasterCtrl and TestLeptonica Bazaar classes.... mostly unfinished, but already containing a starting interface to Leptonica pixel library, which is aimed, among others, on raster document analysis.
I have also on my tree some basic Tesseract upp package. Tesseract is a good OCR opensource package.
Combining both you can "quickly" ge a working doc analysis/ocr stuff; I was working on it some months ago and it was a promising stuff, already able to separate text and picture blocks from a scanned page and OCR the text parts.
No time anymore to develop it for now.....
