Screen Shots

[Arie]

Hi,

In my game I have a picture box (picMain) and at first I loaded a bitmap into it. then I did some bitblt drawing. now, how can I save it as a bitmap like screen shot?

Thank you,
Arie.

Copy picMain.Image into another picturebox's picture property, then use savepicture.

Why not directly PicBox.SavePicture? Just specify the PicBox.Image property as the source

[Arie]

Pic.Image = Pic.Picture - Doesn't work!
Pic.Picture = Pic.Image - Works but not good!
Saving the Image with SavePicture saves the picture I loaded at first, not the bitblted things.
What can I do?
How can I save the bitblted picture??

Help!

Thank you,
Arie.

Maybe try something like Pic1.Image = Pic1.Picture
Pic1.SavePicture(blaa blaa blaa)

I KNOW its possible because I've done it before, but I can't remember how I did it. It's the IMAGE that you want though, not the picture.

I'll see if I can find my old project when I get home, but I'm prob not in Uni tomorrow so you might have to wait till Monday. Sorry.

Maybe it helps to have AutoRedraw = True. If it's false, then the bitmap is not persistent, so it might not be saved.

[Arie]

It is set to False,
because if I set it to True, the bitblt is not working properly!

Please help!

Thank you,
Arie.

When set to AutoRedraw=True:

PicBox.Cls
' Bitblt and drawing stuff
PicBox.Refresh
