Hi,

How can i create bitmap of a window form with all its child controls
without showing this form?
1. I am trying to create bitmap image of a window form.
2. I am creating a new instance of Form at runtime.And It`s visibility
is false.
3. Then adding several controls like Button, RadioButton,CheckBox etc
to it.
4. Now i want to create bitmap with all controls showing on it which
are added to this form.


I am trying it by Control.DrawToBitmap().But in this way i am not
getting the controls in that bitmap of the form which are added to
it.But when i am showing the form , all controls appears in the
bitmap.But i want such bitmap without showing form or being visible.


How can i make it possible? Kindly reply ASAP.

I'm confused. You want essentially a screen shot of a bunch of controls
with no containing form? What exactly would be the background?
