stroe windows form as a bitmap file??
-
Hi all, Can anyone help me? I need to store a windows forms as a bitmap file i.e. when the form closes save the form as an image. Is this at all possible? I suppose I'm looking for print screen like functionality but I only want to capture the form itself. Hope it makes sense. Thanks all. Richard

Richard, I'm surprised that no one responded to this question. It is definitely possible to save a screen display to the bitmap format, as you are probably aware, most games have this capability built in. There is an article right here on CodeProject that demonstrates this: Screen and Form Capture with Managed C++[^] You may find that this is not the best possible solution, for a number of reasons. But, if it is adequate for your needs, who cares, it's simple and straightforward.
