save a bitmap

[walleye3313]

Hi,

i am stuck and wonder if you can help.

i am using Jr to draw a plot in a picture box using your sample code in VB6. i get exactly the plot i want. now i want to save that as a bitmap file and can't seem to make that work .

any ideas?

thanks
jerry

The easiest way is to grab a copy of the FreeImage DLL (http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/), which includes VB examples and is freely distributable.

If you'd rather roll your own... it's a bit involved, really too involved to lay it all out here. All of the source examples I have are in C, but you should be able to find what you need by Googling some combination of "VB save BMP".
