Text on Images

[overhill]

I am using photographs with the permission of their owner, but I want to protect them. I want to allow the user to print and or copy the image to the clipboard, but with a "Photo By" in a corner. Is there an way to actually add this text on the image? I would like to avoid adding the text in a graphic editor if possible. Thanks...

I hope that you're printing and copying these images from VB application. All you have to do is to draw (print) the text over the image. Simplest way to do this is to draw image on PictureBox control, then using the PictureBox.Print method draw (print?) the text you want.

After "editing", you can print image or copy it to clipboard (you know how to do this, don't you?).

Yes I am using Visual Basic for printing and copying. I have been using Image controls because of their lower resource usage, but using a PictureBox does solve the problem. Thanks.

You could also set the ClipControls property of the owner form to "False". Then you can draw/print over the ImageBoxes.
