Clipboards, mschart's and pictureboxes

[wildfire1982]

hello,

 

Im tryin to save a mschart object to a picture. I decided to copy the chart to the clipboard and then from the clipboard to a picturebox where i would save the picture as an image file. What i have tried is below. I found someone elses example which didnt work at all but i had a rehash so the code which is below has been mashed around a bit. Does anyone know where im going wrong? i just cant see it. Cheers for any pointers.

 

       Dim cmdlg1 As New SaveFileDialog
       Dim filename As String
       cmdlg1.ShowDialog()
       filename = cmdlg1.FileName
       AxMSChart1.EditCopy()
       Dim piccy As New PictureBox
       piccy.Image = Clipboard.GetDataObject.GetData(DataFormats.EnhancedMetafile)
       Dim something As New Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat(Guid.NewGuid)
       something = Imaging.ImageFormat.Emf
      
       Application.DoEvents()
       Dim Images As Image
       Images = piccy.Image
       Images.Save(filename)

 

Cheers folks
