Saving an image to a file

[Erel]

For the forelayer you will need to do something similar to klaus suggestion: http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/quest...html#post22901
See this example for capturing a screenshot of the whole screen: http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/share...pture-app.html

Here you have an updated version of the the SaveForelayer example:

There is one BitmapEx object for each image with it's DrawerEx:
- bmpBackground holds the background image
- drwBackground allows drawing onto the background image

- bmpForelayer holde the forelayer image
- drwForelayer allows drawing onto the forelayer image

- bmpImage holds the combination of both above images
- drwImage allows drawing onto it

two more DrawerEx objects
- drwMain drawer to draw onto the form's backgound
- drwMainForelayer drawer to draw anto the form's forelayer

Run the program and:
- click on 'Draw on forelayer' draws onto bmpForelayer and copies it to the form's forelayer
- click on 'Erase forelayer' erases the form's forelayer
- click an 'Add forelayer on background' copies both bmpBackground and bmpForelayer on bmpImage

Now you can show on the form all 3 bitmaps.
- Show both shows bmpImage
- Show background shows bmpBackground
- Show forelayer shows the forelayer

You can save the 3 imagaes to files.

Then with 'Transfer both on background' you transfer bmpImage to bmpBackground.

Best regards.

Seems that is the only way. Thanks Klaus & Erel.
