Graphics object and Images

[Salat]

What Im trying to do is:

Draw something at the picturebox, and then set the whole paintings as an image, so I could draw it at some other controls useing DrawImage. Ive searched the forum, msdn, help files and I didnt find the solution.

thanks for help...

Youll have to draw your image in an offscreen bitmap instead. You can then assign that image to a picturebox or draw it wherever you like. Use the Bitmap constructor to create the image, and use Graphics.FromImage to get a Graphics object from it to draw on it.

I dont get it... How can I draw on a bitmap offsreen?

 

[Divil]

I just said... with the Bitmap constructor and Graphics.FromImage.

Dim b As New Bitmap(100, 100)
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(b)

g.DrawLine(whatever)

g.Dispose()
myPictureBox.Image = b

All untested of course but should work.
