Painting a Picture

[joe_pool_is]

We have a control that is available in an SDK called LabelImage that is defined as follows (providing I don't fat finger anything):

Object. LabelImage Long hWindow, [boolean bPrintPreview]

Parameters

hWindow is the handle of the window on which the label image will be painted;

Optional. bPrintPreview is a boolean indicating if all the field's values should be shown when creating the image, as in the case of preview on LabelView QuickPrint window.

Remarks

Paints the current label's image on the user's window.

Return Values

If the label image is painted successfully, the return value is True, otherwise it is False.

I want to paint this into a PictureBox control so that I can preview it prior to printing.

 

 

In VB 2005, I have passed the method defined above the PictureBox's Handle as followsCode:

obj.LabelImage(PictureBox1.Handle()) ' Handle returns an IntPtr

 

 

The LabelImage returns True, but still no image.

 

 

I tried overloading the OnPaint usingCode:

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)

 

and the e.Graphics.IsClipEmpty property is False.

 

So, how do I use the PaintEventArgs to populate PictureBox1?

[PlausiblyDamp]

If you try passing in PictureBox1.Handle.ToInt32 instead does that make a difference?

That worked. Thank you!

 

Sorry for taking so long to get back with you on this, but we had other fires burning at work, and this got pushed to the back.
