Picturebox and PaintPicture 2

[waytech2003]

I have a Picturebox that has a picture (jpg), and a Shape control loaded at design time. My program moves the Shape control around on the picture at runtime. The Picturebox has Autoredraw set to True. (tried False also)

I want to print the picture as seen on the screen, and use the following.

Printer.PaintPicture Pic1.Picture, 1, 1, Pic1.Scalewidth, Pic1.ScaleHeight

All I get is the original picture and no Shape control.

I have tried using Pic1.Image and no difference.

Also have tried Pic1.Picture=Pic1.Image and still no luck.

I tried placing a second picturebox on the form and using Pic2.Picture=Pic1.Picture and Pic2.Picture=Pic1.Image. The second picture only gets the original Picture, No Shape control.

How do I get what I see in the Pic1 to another Object?

Okay, see this thread... thread222-516967 and DrJavaJoe's first post. I believe it has all the code you will need...



Good Luck

I believe the Shape control will be a simple shape, perhaps a circle or square, highlighting some object on the picture.

If, instead of using the shape control, you draw the shape using picture box drawing methods (Line, Circle etc.), you will be able to grab that shape overlaid on the picture using Image property.

That works great. Here's your star...

Yes your idea works too.
My shape is just a simple rectangle and I can Draw that just before I print.

Was just thinking I was doing something wrong, but I see there is no built in method to integrate a control into the picture.

Thanks both for your help
