images in memory...

[neoniva]

Ok I can LOAD a picture into memory, and i can even stretchblt or bitblt to a picturebox. However, I can't figure out how to make a seperate stdpicture2 accept the result of the resized stdpicture1. I know it has to do with setting up stdpicture2 right to accept it somehow. Basicly my design is this:

1 picture to load the picture file.
1 picture to hold the result of Stretchblt of the first picture
Save picture #2 to a file.

StretchBlt the Picture to a PictureBox, and then use the PictureBox's .Image property as your new picture object.

Ok I can transfer it, but I still can't save it correctly. It turns up with the background of the picturebox rather than the bitblt section.

Play with the AutoRedraw property and the Refresh method, see what combination you need to save it properly.

Could you provide an example of how it works for you Janus? Is it only a Windows 2000 versus Windows ME/ 98/ 95 ? hmm....

I usually do this:

PictureBox.AutoRedraw = True
' Draw stuff
PictureBox.Refresh

That is the best way to do it, as Janus mentioned.

Thanks guys...I finally got it to work. For some reason when I would have the DC in memory and then try to delete it afterwards, it would display the picture. ?? Weird...but thanks though.
