Greetings,
I am currently working on a project that requires that the contents of
a RichTextBox control be drawn to a bitmap. I have attempted nearly
everything including using calls into the Win32 API BitBlt function. Is
t here a way to perform this feat without sifting through the contents
of the control and drawing character-by-character? (Note that I have
seen just about every forum message on the web regarding this topic,
and have attempt many different approaches: PrintWindow, overloads,
etc...)
Thanks for your help 4 8214
Assuming you're only interested in the visible bit, it's easy with
interop. There's also a way to blit in dotnet, but I can't find where
ever I saw it.
using System.Runtime. InteropServices ;
[DllImport("gdi3 2.dll")]
static extern bool BitBlt(IntPtr hdc, int nXDest, int nYDest, int
nWidth,
int nHeight, IntPtr hdcSrc, int nXSrc, int nYSrc, uint dwRop);
Got a form with a rtb and this creates a copy into a picturebox. You
might have to tweak it a bit, but the basics are there.
Graphics g = richTextBox1.Cr eateGraphics();
Graphics g2 = pictureBox1.Cre ateGraphics();
IntPtr gi = g.GetHdc();
IntPtr gi2 = g2.GetHdc();
BitBlt(gi2,0,0, pictureBox1.Wid th,pictureBox1. Height,gi,0,0,0 x00CC0020);
g.Dispose();
g2.Dispose();
sorry I've not got more time to look into it.

Oops replace the bitblt line with
BitBlt(gi2,0,0, richTextBox1.Wi dth,richTextBox 1.Height,gi,0,0 ,0x00CC0020);
btw the oocc0020 refers to copy.
There are some issues with releasing (disposing) the Graphics objects
which I haven't looked into, but that should be an easier to sort out.

Ok, I wasn't a million miles off, Bob Powell gives us the answer at http://www.bobpowell.net/capture.htm
Here's his code, GetDC and ReleaseDC are imported along with BitBlt.
System.IntPtr srcDC=GetDC(thi s.pictureBox1.H andle);
Bitmap bm=new
Bitmap(this.pic tureBox1.Width, this.pictureBox 1.Height);
Graphics g=Graphics.From Image(bm);
System.IntPtr bmDC=g.GetHdc() ;
BitBlt(bmDC,0,0 ,bm.Width,bm.He ight,srcDC,0,0, 0x00CC0020
/*SRCCOPY*/);
ReleaseDC(this. pictureBox1.Han dle, srcDC);
g.ReleaseHdc(bm DC);
g.Dispose();

Hi
I have a user control that contains a RichTextBox in vb.net. In my
program, I create multiple instances of this control (with the
RichTextBox being in each one), that appear one above the other on a
panel. The problem is that each control may have varying amounts of
data, and so each RichTextBox (within each control) needs to size to
fit the amount of text within that RichTextBox. I've tried
multiplying the size of a single line...

Hello All,
I've recently discovered the DrawToBitmap method hidden away in the
Control class (in .NET 2.0). What a fantastic addition to the class.
I'm having some degree of difficulty using it though with controls
other than the Textbox. I would appreciate any information (other than
what is available in the MSDN docs about DrawToBitmap, as I've already
read it) that could be provided about this method and/or how to use it
properly.

I have a multiline RichTextBox that I use for data logging. I'm concerned
about how the AppendText method reacts when over time the maximum number of

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
