capture form & put into RTF file (GOT IT)

[phinds]

I'm an experienced VB programmer, but now need to do something I have no idea how to do, which is capture a form and save it in (or as) an RTF file.

I can accomplish exactly what I want from the desktop by (1) giving the form the focus and then (2) doing alt-printscreen to capture it, then (3) saving it into a fresh Wordpad and then (4) saving the wordpad as an RTF file.

I'd like to accomplish the equivalent from code at runtime.

Any help will be appreciated, as I have not a clue how to go about this.
