modifying a bitmap image at runtime in an IPAc hx4700

[Guest]

I am loading a 4X5 picturebox matrix using a bitmap file template. As each
cell in the matrix is being loaded, I append a text string using the
DrawString function to complete the cell's image.

The problem is that the DrawString function seems to work only on the
desktop and not on the hx4700.

Does any body know how to get around the DrawString to draw a string on a
bitmap image at runtime?

This will avoid having to crate separate images for each cell on the matrix.

Thanks for the help!

The only thing I could think of is to use an API call through the
P/Invoke layer and try and modify the image that way (passing the device
context handle). Then again, I don't know if such an API is even available
on those platforms.

You might have to go with individual images for each cell.
