So you are just drawing; you want images of controls, not functioning controls? OK... If that is the case then just draw your ContainerControl into a Picture object and DrawPict the picture where you want it. From a pushbutton your code would look more like this: dim p as picture = NewPicture (ContainerControl11.width,ContainerControl11.height,32) dim g as Graphics = p.Graphics ContainerControl11.DrawInto p.Graphics, 0, 0 self.Canvas1.Graphics.DrawPicture p, 0, 0 DrawInto is not perfect, so you may see some issues there depending on what controls you have in your ContainerControl. Also, as with any type of drawing, you will have the usual issues of maintaining your image. To handle that, create a window property to hold your picture, then DrawPicture that property in Canvas_Paint as well.
