How to draw a RichEditControlt as a bitmap

created 11 years ago

Hello,
The control should provide API for taking a screen shot of itself taking into account the DPI.
We use our control in a custom DataGridView we developed which has RTF based cells. In that design when a cell is not in edit mode the rtf control is not showing. Therefore we get a image of the control's content and show that on the cell using a Graphics.DrawImage in the Cell's PaintEvent…etc…

Hi Clint,
You can use the RichEditControl.DrawToBitmap method as shown below:

C#
Bitmap someImage = new Bitmap(richEditControl1.ClientRectangle.Width, richEditControl1.ClientRectangle.Height);  
richEditControl1.DrawToBitmap(someImage, richEditControl1.ClientRectangle);  
someImage.Save("test.png");

Is this what you are looking for?
