Saving an image to a file

[Erel]

Attached is a small library that allows saving images to bitmap (BMP) files.
It works from the desktop or the device.
This library requires .Net Framework 2.
An example is included in the zip file.

Hi Erel
the attached library reports an error, can you please check and post it again ?
Thanks

This library requires .Net CF 2.0.
Otherwise you will receive "Invalid ..." error.
See the link above for setup instructions.

Hi Erel,

It seems the imagelibex saves only the background layer but not the forelayer. Any way to save backgound + transparent forelayer in one bmp?

Thanks,

[Erel]

You can save the ForeLayer using using Form.FImage.
It isn't possible to merge the two layers into one image.

FImage? In Imagelibex?

I have solve the problem by walkaround:
1. save the form1.image to a tmp image
2. use drawer to draw forelayer image to form1 background with transparency
3. save the form1 background
4. draw the tmp image back to form1 background

Not that slow. Make be in next verson u can allow save of background + foreground, or background only, or foregrorund only.

Thanks,

Sorry but as you've wrote there is no FImage.
How are you drawing the forelayer on on the back layer?

oh. actually i load a image as mask (immask.image) and draw on the forelayer. what i mean draw the forelayer to background is simply draw teh immask.image to background layer.

I don't know how to copy/draw the forelayer to backgound.

How can I save a portion of the image.

Hi Erel,

This time the problem is:

I loaded a photo and draw on top a frame all to the from back layer (form.line).
Then most of my new drawings are on forelayer (form.fline).

I want to save image that is form.image, save 2nd image that is forelayer, and save 3rd image that is what are seen on screen (forelayer on top of form.image).

Besides redraw everything on background that I draw on forelayer, any other method?

THanks.
