Posts: 269              Hola,

I know there are many posts for this subject.  I've read quite a lot of them.  
And I guess I don't quite understand how to use Graphics.DrawPicture.  What I 
want to do is to rescale the picture (MyPictItem.OpenAsPicture/MyPict) to 64 x 
64 and then send it to Canvas(Canvas4) Backdrop.

Code:If Listbox3.ListIndex >= 0 Then // No selection error prevention
  Dim MyPictItem As FolderItem
  
MyPictItem=GetFolderItem(Listbox3.Cell(Listbox3.ListIndex,1),FolderItem.PathTypeAbsolute)
  If MyPictItem.OpenAsPicture<>Nil Then
  Dim MyPict,p As Picture
  p=NewPicture(64,64,32)
  MyPict=MyPictItem.OpenAsPicture
  p.Graphics.DrawPicture MyPict,0,0,64,64,0,0,0,0
  Canvas4.Backdrop=p
  Else
  Exit Sub
  End if
  Exit Sub
End if


What am I doing wrong?  I'm sorry for asking such a basic question.

Thank you for your advice.

Tom

Posts: 659              Something you must make wrong. For test run this code 
in a button:
Code:dim f as folderitem = getopenfolderItem("")
dim p as picture = f.openaspicture
canvas4.graphics.drawpicture p, 0, 0, 64, 64, 0, 0, 64, 64

Back to your orginal code:
Code:Dim MyPictItem As FolderItem
MyPictItem=GetOpenFolderItem("")
If MyPictItem.OpenAsPicture<>Nil Then
  Dim MyPict,p As Picture
  p=NewPicture(64,64,32)
  MyPict=MyPictItem.OpenAsPicture
  p.Graphics.DrawPicture MyPict,0,0,64,64,0,0,64,64
  Canvas4.Backdrop=p
End if

Thank you very much for your prompt response, serd83.  With your code, the 
backdrop picture will actually appear without its being re-scaled.

Edit: Your code was ok until the line above, I test it now. 
You forgot to use the last 2 fields which are 0, 0. Change it to 64, 64 and it 
work's correct.

Thanks.  No re-scaling again...

Posts: 269              I got it.

Code:p.Graphics.DrawPicture MyPict,0,0,64,64,0,0,MyPict.Width,MyPict.Height

Without your help, I would have overlooked my silly mistake.  Thanks a lot, 
serd83.

Posts: 659              Sorry, I use the Back button with the webbrowser and 
edit the code above again instead create a new answer.
All the code above I post work's correct, which I test also now.
