FYI, I already try with any code that I find in internet.
i feel so stressed by this project. I find the code by video, article, blog etc.
I try all my best.
Until last week I join this site and post a thread.
And another FYI I already try to search an example like that link you give before post my first thread, and I still confused because they use many module :(
I only find a simple way to save. Only for save, but I think it really complicated.
but anyway, thanks a lot for your advice :)

I saw your note on needing to save a picturebox you are drawing to.

There are two things you need to do

  1. Set AutoRedraw = True ( before you start drawing )
  2. Save the Image property of the Picturebox not the Picture property

Example:

                 Picture1.AutoRedraw = True
                 Picture1.Line  ( 0,0) - ( 300,300)
                 SavePicture  Picture1.Image, "C:\temp\junk.bmp"

Note that another option is to replace the standard picturebox with an off-the-shelf commercial drawing component designed for this purpose. This can make it very easy to quickly create a very useful drawing program, or to add drawing features to a larger application.

I hope this is helpful.
