Hi Vinod,

It sounds like it does the same thing that Obj2Bmp does, but without the user interface.

The BMPMaker class handles all the details of actually creating the bitmap. If you pass the MakeBitmap() method the window handle of the form, bits per pixel, top and left coordinates, and the height and width (all of these last four in pixels) of the object on the form, it creates a bitmap of that portion of the form.

Getting the coordinates of the object can be tricky, since they're always relative to the container they're in. The Object Picker form class has methods to retrieve these values.

I think if you look at the code in the MakeBitmap method of BMPMaker, you'll see references to the exact same Win32 calls that you mentioned above.
