Save a ListView as a JPEG (Visual studio 2005 C#)

[NGenSteam]

Hi All

I am displaying a listview in a panel and I want to be able to save the listview as a jpeg, in order that I can incorporate it in a Word Document. While I can save the panel as a jpeg by "converting" it to a bitmap, this process only saves that which is visible in the panel. The properties of the listview allow for scrollbars, so that when the listview is displayed one can scroll through it.

Herein I suspect lies the problem in that it is the listview and not the panel that I should be converting to bitmap.

A further complication is that I am returning the listview from an instance of the class that creates it.

Thanking you

i'm sure there is a more elegant solution that this...but since you already know how to convert a panel to a bitmap (i don't know how to do that!)...

could you try this...

1) add the listView to panelA.
2) make panelA the same width and height as listView
3) add panelA to panelB
4) make panelB the size you need to fit properly on the form
5) convert panelA to the jpg...it will be the proper size

not sure if it will work...but that's what i'd try if i already knew how to convert a panel to a bitmap and didn't know how to convert a listView to one.

(although, surely there is a way to paint the listView directly to the bitmap...it is afterall painting itself anyway)
