Hi,
I want to be able to save a temporary scrap file that would contain a image Look for the stars *** but I don't want to have a save dialog appear I am not sure how to do this and when the user clicks next the rest code below clears the paint canvas // Reset Variables fNamei fpl picel // Clear Canvas1 Canvas1.Graphics.ClearRect 0, 0, Canvas1.width, Canvas1.height Canvas1.Backdrop Eic // Set PIC as a NEW Picture picow Picture(graphics.width, graphics.height, 32) ******** SEE BELOW Dim dlg as New SaveAsDialog // Check to see if Filename has been created If fName then // Filename has NOT been created so goto SAVE AS dlg.Filter mage/jpg, bmp, pict, gif" dlg.SuggestedFileNameðame dlg.Titleiave Drawing" fÐg.ShowModal() If f <> Nil then f.saveaspicture(pic) fNameðname Else //user canceled End If // Filename has been created so continue to SAVE ElseIf fName<>"" then f.nameðame If f <> Nil then f.saveaspicture(pic) End If End if Brian Heibert <email address removed> _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html> |

I tried to use that

You left p nil in your code, so you can't save it as a picture. You have to
make p a picture first.

To do so, go to the Help menu and choose "Language Reference". You should practice doing this repeatedly until you are sure you know how to open the language reference. Once you have opened the language reference, find the column called "Category". Read down until you see "Errors".

There are only three sorts of things to which you can assign -- local variables, method parameters. and mutable (not read-only) properties (whether defined as actual properties, methods using Assigns, or computed properties). In your code, p.Graphics is not a local variable, and it is not a method parameter. It is a property. If it is mutable, then you should be able to assign to it. But you cannot, and the compiler is the final authority (which is not, by the way, the same as always being right). Therefore, p.Graphics must not be mutable. So the documentation is wrong; it should have said that Picture.Graphics is read-only. But because you will know how to open the language reference and look up the meaning of an compiler error message if you practice what I have explained, you'll be able to figure this out for yourself.

You can't put a canvas in a picture, but you can do it the other way around.
So, I suggest you first paint all your stuff to a picture (a new property of the window) and then draw that picture to you canvas. That way you can acces the picture without trouble.

Oh, and btw, you did p=Canvas1.Backdrop
p.Graphics is a Graphics Canvas1.backdrop is a Picture You cant make a picture a graphics, or a graphics a picture (you can't make a graphics anything, but that doesn't matter now). p IS a picture and Canvas1.Backdrop is a picture too, so you do p= Canvas1.Backdrop.

Charles, if you're just gonna site here and say "go understand it" he isn't
going to. You got to make him understand it. What you did wrong was this: You tried to assign a picture to a graphics (p.graphics=Canvas1.Backdrop) You need to assign a picture to a picture (p=Canvas1.Backdrop) Or draw the picture on the graphics, but thats not smart in this case ( p.Graphics.DrawPicture Canvas1.Backdrop,0,0) And if you don't use backdrop, but draw to the canvas itself, you should first draw to a picture and then draw that picture on the canvas. That way you still have acces to the picture after you did your drawing. But you're not doing that, so you should do p=Canvas1.Backdrop On 06/05/06, Charles Yeomans <<email address removed>> wrote: > > Then perhaps your time might be best spent understanding why this is > wrong. > > Charles Yeomans > _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html> |

Well, the point is you did bother replying to his email, just not in a
helpful way. Maybe you don't want to help him, well, fine. But then let someone else do it and don't go patronizing someone who asks a stupid question.

Brian is very persistent at his attempts to learn but, as a consequence, often asks the same questions over and over again - even when given the answer. Charles, Norman and others have helped Brian many, many times in the past. I think Charles was trying to point out that if he learned to use the online help (and the archives as well) he'd be in a better position to help himself learn. In that way the frustration of both Brian, and those trying to assist, would be minimised. > Maybe you don't want to help him, well, fine.

Perhaps you can succeed where others have failed. cheers kim _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html> |

Sorry, gmail handles quoting a bit differntly from my last email provider..
It's a bit confusing some times... And you're right you didn't patronize him, but charles did.. but apperantly with good reasons.. or something....

I normally don't attempt to answer his questions anymore, because
it's a waste of time. The only way to do it is to write his code for him -- as I recently did, more or less, for his menu questions. But the error he was making was so elementary that I thought that perhaps he might be able to follow a detailed explanation. I was wrong, or perhaps he just doesn't care. This guy has been on these lists for several years asking the same questions over and over. We'll let you answer them for awhile.
