I would be curious to find out what the story is with this, too. The Print method is no longer available for either Form or picture box - is this normal, or is it just me? I'm sure I used to use it, and it is mentioned in the online help and at various places on the web, such as http://www.engineering.usu.edu/cee/f...BGradClass.htm.

Do you mean that when you save the picture it is just the original picture without the balloon and text you drew on it? If that is the case, you probably just need to turn on the AutoRedraw property of the picturebox before you draw anything.

Balloon shape is drawn and text is also drawn.i also know that to do drawing over picture autoredraw property must be true.there is no problem with displaying label over picture.
main problem is to save picture with label.
when i save picture balloon shape is saved but the label drawn over it was not saved.
regarding that i need urs help
thanks

Ah! So it's actually a label control displayed over the picturebox? Hm... Can you Print the text directly onto the picturebox control, inside the balloon? You just set CurrentX & CurrentY, then use the picturebox.Print method. I don't know how else you'd go about getting it saved together.

If you are drawing two things on the picturebox (balloon then text) then saving the picture, I don't see how it could save one and not the other. Unless, perhaps, you are doing the text first and the balloon is covering it up. But presumably you would have noticed that.

As far as I know, anything you draw on the picture box while AutoRedraw is True will become a permanent part of the picture, and can be saved. However, I can never remember the relationship between the AutoRedraw property and the .Image and .Picture properties.

I don't know what VB version you are using, but in VB6 the PictureBox control does have a .Print method. What causes confusion is that for some reason it doesn't show up on the popup list of properties and methods when you type the name and add a dot. But trust me, it is there.

how is the print method works? is it for printing or saving the image? what is the appropriate coding for it? or just simply picturebox.print?

You really should look in your documentation for the syntax. It prints onto the object that the method belongs to. In other words, if you said Form1.Print "Hello" it would print the word "Hello" onto the surface of Form1. The Print method is also supported by the picturebox control, the Printer object and I don't know what else.
