how a picture can be saved as .bmp in v.b afrter some modifications

[raghunadhs]

Hi all!

in my v.b application, i am changing the color of a picture, now i want to save the picture that has been altered in v.b as a ".bmp" so that i can re use it in the same application as image, by loading the bmp.

actually, i don't know whether it is possible or not... if possible how can i do this.. kindly let me know...

(already in one application i connected to excel application through v.b and saved it as another excel file,after doing some modifications.... can i apply the same strategy to ms paint also, if so how can i do it?)


Thanks in advance,

The details will depend on what version of VB you're using. In VB6, I believe you can use the SavePucture function to save a BMP. Don't know about later versions.

killer!
now i am able to save the bmp successfully, but the problem is the modifications that have been done on the picture box is not being reflected to the saved one.

that means suppose, if i changed the color of "picture1" and saved it as "newPicture.bmp". the problem is the "newPicture" is resembels like the "picture1" before it got the modifications.
But i wnat the modified picture, which is to be saved....
if u know it, kindly help me.
Thanks

I think this means you need to set the .AutoRedraw property to True before doing any drawing, so that what you draw becomes part of the permanent image.
