Marc Aud #1 / 3	Graphic Printing I'm using a PictureBox on a form for the surface where the user can move elements, add elements, connect elements, etc. Now I want to be able to print out the contents of the picturebox. I've tried a couple of different ways with little to no success. The PictureBox is drawn to using GDI functions to a temporary hdc and then copied over using BitBlt. I've tried to do the same using both BitBlt and StretchBlt but both result in the printed page being blank. I've tried doing the drawing straight to the hdc of the printer and that does work, however the scale is off and I can not seem to adjust it and some of the objects are filled when they should not be. If anyone has any ideas how to go about solving this problem please let me know. Thanks very much, Marc Audy Construction Engineering & Management University of Alberta

Stoil Marino #2 / 3	Graphic Printing Hi Marc, When you draw to/from PictureBox via APIs use the hDC supplied by the hDC property of the Picture box. In other words do not use GetDC(PictureBox.hWnd) to obtain a hDC.
