I create a TBitmap from an external object (the bitmap is not originally transparent and has a solid non-transparent background):

    ABitmap := AOfficeImage.GetAsBitmap;
    ABitmap.Transparent := True;
    ABitmap.PixelFormat:= pf32bit;
 
    // Copy the Bitmap to the clipboard:
    With TImageEnProc.Create( nil ) do
    begin
      AttachedIEBitmap.Assign(ABitmap);
      AttachedIEBitmap.AlphaChannel;
      AttachedIEBitmap.AlphaFill(0);

      CopyToClipboard(False); // clipboard image is still intransparent
      Free();
    end;

    ABitmap.Free;


*****

Other approach with TBitmap helper function:

    ABitmap := AOfficeImage.GetAsBitmap;
    ABitmap.Transparent := True;
    ABitmap.PixelFormat:= pf32bit;

    ABitmap.Proc.CopyToClipboard(False); // image is still not transparent

    ABitmap.Free;

Hi

Yes, that code should include a PNG clipboard format that includes an alpha channel (in fact the pasted image should be completely blank in applications that support an alpha channel).

What application are you you pasting into?

Also check that AttachedIEBitmap.AlphaChannel.Full = False.
