I know i should post this twice, but i got zero feedback from the graphics section. I was wondering if it is possible to call your GDI+ drawing from another class or method? OR..is it possible to create a function that will do the gdi drawing. ie, Draw(x,y,picture) any help would be very very helpfull.thanks!

Yes, though i dont know the exact code, you can save images, they just need to be drawn to a picture box, then the pixture box can be saved as a .bmp

i think you need to be more specific about what "panel".. also it sounds like crappy drawing code to me if the pixels get all messed up. Try using double buffering techniques or try to clean your drawing code up a bit. good luck

i belive what hes trying to get at is how he would actually go about doing that. If your trying to draw all the letters for all your text, you need to look into something called a font engine. Normall what these do is use a file that contains pictures from letter A to letter Z..seperated by the same number of pixles. Then depending on what letter should be drawn to the screen, it will draw the letters to your form, from the image. For the rest of the LCD screen, basically it is just an image that looks like a LCD screen, you can either set that as the background of your form, or as an image on your form... Anyway, good luck.. P.S if you need graphics there are tonz of people willing to do to free graphics, or look online..theres tonz of free resources. [edit] though the image you posted looks like just a normal black box on a pretty normal form.

Hey, Im using C# for my app, and im using GDI+. With GDI the drawing functions always seem to be in the on_paint method of the Form your drawing to. Is there a way i can call the drawing functions from another class? or another method / function within the same class? Thanks a bunch. -micon
