Hi Paul,

I was playing around with this stuff last night too. Evidently, an HWnd is not the same thing as a GDI+ Handle. Take a look at the CreateFromHWND() method in the gpGraphics class. There is a CreateFromImage() method in there as well that might be useful.

>I'm playing around with the new FFC GDI classes and I can't seem to get this to work (I'm sure I'm missing something really simple). I basically want to load a graphics image onto a VFP form, resized to a shape sitting on that form. Here's some code to outline what I'm trying to do (of course, it doesn't work):
