    I'm new to VB so please be patient.
    I'm using Sam Huggil's GraphLite control in a test station program. I'd like to save the graph as an image file (any type). The control doesn't seem to have any image properties, so I put it inside a picture box and tried to use
    SavePicture Picture1.Image <filename>
    All I get is gray.
    In my ignorance I also tried
    SavePicture Picture1.Picture <filename>
    and
    Picture1.Picture = Picture1.Image
    SavePicture Picture1.Picture <filname>
    Still gray.
    Does it just not work that way?
    I suppose I could just take a screen shot of the whole window, but it would be neater if there was a way to just save the graph control's image. Is there?
    And yes the data points are also saved to a file, and I could just recreate the graph, but my boss is like "Can we just save the graph from the test station?" So now I'm wondering if there's a way too.

    Should be as easy as
    Code:
    Picture1.Picture = Picture1.Image 'Remove this if you have autoredraw
    SavePicture Picture1.Picture, "C:\image.bmp"
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
