The problem isn't resizing - I don't have an original bitmap to resize. The problem is that I have a control that I want a screenshot of. So, I'm trying to create a Bitmap from whatever is appearing in the control.
I pass the control in, then I call control.CreateGraphics(); System.Drawing.Graphics g1 = c.CreateGraphics(); Then, with the resulting graphics object, I try to create a new bitmap. Bitmap MyImage = new Bitmap(w, h, g1); The thing is, this bitmap is blank, unless I paste back in that BitBlt code. I can't figure out how to get a new bitmap from a graphics object, without BitBlt(). Sebastien - Using 2.0 isn't an option, unfortunately. Is there any alternative from P/Invoking in this case? Thanks for all the help! Eric On 2/28/07, Abe Gillespie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It looks like you're just taking the image and resizing it to show in the dialog. You really should not have to go into native OS libraries to do so.
