RE: Another GDIPlusX question
Isn't it marvellous how simply posting a question to this esteemed list
somehow kicks ones brain into gear ... albeit only after posting
StrToFile(STRConv(MyTable.MyImage,14),"Temp.BMP")
With _Screen.System.Drawing
loBMP = .BitMap.FromFile("Temp.BMP")
etc etc

Another GDIPlusX question
Hi all I have been creating some bitmaps, saving their PictureVals and later assigning the PictureVal to an Image object: Assuming loBMP has already been created lcPictureVal = StrConv(loBMP.GetPictureValFromHBitmap(),13) Insert Into MyTable Values (lcPictureVal) && MyTable contains a single field called MyImage of type Blob then, later Thisform.Image1.PictureVal = StrConv(MyTable.MyImage, 14). This is all working well but what I want to do now (and so far am unable to) is to create a BMP (xfcBitmap) from the PictureVal stored in MyImage, either directly or somehow indirectly. I am sure this should be possible but at the moment I can't see how.

Re: Another GDIPlusX question
Hi Guys! I am always here to help you about GDI+ drawings. Michael, Paul said ...Of course you could get around that by storing all the elements of the drawing in a table - then when you click on the drawing, get the coordinates and do a lookup of them in the table to find the object clicked on ? This is the key point of the story. In this post you could find a very simple approach with some very useful classes http://weblogs.foxite.com/vassilisaggelakos/archive/2007/04/24/3726.aspx Mal, thanks for remembering me.

Re: Another GDIPlusX question
Michael Somebody on the list was doing something like this for designing window frames .. not sure how he was doing it. He *may* have been using Visio automation but I am not sure. Doing it with GDI might be tricky because it would be difficult to interact with the drawing once it had been painted/drawn - I think. Of course you could get around that by storing all the elements of the drawing in a table - then when you click on the drawing, get the coordinates and do a lookup of them in the table to find the object clicked on ? Hope it gives you some ideas, anyway ... Cheers Paul Newton I need to show a drawing of a picket fence with some distance markings between posts and pickets. Something like you'd see on blueprints.

Another GDIPlusX question
Hi all I have a form with an imgcanvas on which I am drawing some shapes and I'm then saving the image to file using variants of .Save(SwatchTest.BMP,_screen.system.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.BMP) By default the image saved has a color depth of 16M (for BMP, PNG, JPEG, TIFF) and 256 (for GIF). 1. How can I change the default color depth of the saved image (e.g. 64K BMP) 2. What other parameters are there to experiment with when saving images to file ?
