Vb equivalent command is :-

hTmpDc=CreateCompatibleDC(Picture1.hdc)

same way i've added a image control but there is no hdc avl for that in vfp..

I've also chkd Obj2Bmp but its very complicated & was not able to understand it properly...

Pls note that in my project, this form will remain always same, imagecontrol will also remain... only thing is image will be changed and i want to get hdc everytime...

Pls help..
