>>>I got the following code, with a few mods, from GDI+ samples. (Great stuff by the way)

>>>WITH _Screen.System.Drawing

>>>    mLeftOffset, ;
>>>    mTopOffset, ;
>>>    mWidth, ;
>>>    mHeight )
>>>
>>>   loCaptureBmp.Save("C:\Captured.png", .Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
>>>ENDWITH

>>>Is it possible to take the result contained in

.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png

and stuff it directly into a VFP Image Object so I don't have to save to file then read the file? I thought I had done this once but it was some time back.

>>> I tried

.imgDummy.PictureVal = .Imaging.ImageFormat.Png

and of course it didn't work. (hey, anythings worth trying once)
