>>There is a bug in the loCaptureBmp function (below) in GDI+. Every time I run it the entire form jumps down one line and I have to set form.top = 0 to reset it. I tried LockScreen = .t. but it had no effect at all. Everything else works great but the screen jump is annoying to my customers.

Bernard,
thanks for the offer to help. Here are the window settings:
>
1. ShowWindow = 0 In screen
2. WindowState = Normal
3. WindowType = 1 Modal
4. Titlebar = 0 Off
4. BorderStyle = 1 Fixed Single

I did not try your sample because it says no containers. This is a very complex form that can have many layers of containers and also IE Browser ActiveX controls within the containers. The Browser control is always held in at least the third level of containers. The process is used to "take a picture" (capture it) of the contents of an IE ActiveX window and use it as the picture property of a container.

I tried capturing the image of a container with an image to see if the ActiveX window was causing the problem. Same result.

Thanks
