You might want to try creating your Bitmap object using the Grpahics object of the PicBox. Dim grPicBox as Graphics = PicBox.CreateGraphics() Dim bufferBmp As New Bitmap(Width, Height, grPicBox) This will give your Bitmap the same PixelFormat as the PicBox. The only down side is you have to give the Width and Height of the buffer. RageInTheMachine9532

Hi MJAY... You will need to store the points you have used to create the rectangle in an array or a file.. Then in the paint event you will have to recreate all the objects drawn in that control.. Hope this Helps.. Thanks !:) Manoj Madhavam

Its very easy, you can write your data to a simple csv file with comma as delemter... for eg... if you have data as 1 abc abc1 2 def def1 then you can write this data as open "somefile.csv" for output as #1 dim i as integer for i = 0 to datagrid.count - 1 dim wline as string wline = datagrid1(0).text & "," datagrid(1).text & "," & datagrid(1).text & vbcrlf() output #1, wline next i close(1) This is just a concept not actual code the purpose is to explain u just to add datagrid text to csv file.. thinking u know how to get data from the gridtable.. This csv file can then be opened easily in excel.. Hope this helps u in writing ur code. Thanks!:) Manoj Madhavan

sounds like RageInTheMachine9532's q . do this so u retain both images - no need 2 save 1st image: private sub picbox_paint(e....) .... handles paint if drawmode = 1 then 'first time user draws e.graphic.drawrWW() 'this is the first drawing picbox.invalide() 'refresh picbox end if if drawmode = 2 then 'this means user chose draws anaa shape e.graphic.drawWW() 'this is the first drawing e.graphic.drawXX() 'this is second drawing picbox.invalide() 'refresh picbox end if end sub :rose::rose:

When the "AllowSorting" property is set to true, a triangle appears in each column header indicating the direction of the sort. The user can click on any column header to sort the grid by that column. Clicking the column a second time changes the direction of the sort. make sure "Allowproperty" is set true shihab

Thank you very much!

Hi! Thanks for your idea but my matter is that, I am using VB.NET My background of Textbox is still COLOR.WHITE, and I would like to draw a small color rectangle first and then a draw my text (like you add each color beside each text item in a Combobox). Could you give a new idea to handle this matter. Special thanks!!! dungti

Ok I found the way. Just in case somebody else would like to know: use the Shell function. Ciao ;)
