SavePicture fails to save

[webnetworks]

Hi,

I have an appl. that save an image from a Picture control. From one moment to another the SavePicture command fails to save Bitmaps from the Picture Control.

Nothing changed to this part of the appl. but now I get only a grey (appl.background color) image as .BMP file.

The code used is:

sFile = "C:\MYIMAGE.BMP"
SavePicture Picture1.Image, sFile




What went wrong and how can I solve this problem. I tried the compiled code on another PC and that also doesn't work corrcetly.


Thanks,

Jeroen.

Maybe the Autoredraw property of your picturebox is false. Set it to true.

Thanks,

That solved the problem, strange things worked fine for a while and suddenly it went wrong (after changing the capture source from Windows Media Player to VidCap32 content).

Anyway, everything works fine now.

After having saved the image every 30 secs. for about 1600 times, the size of the file becomes 0 bytes!!!

After restarting the application, all works fine for about 1600 times. The captured image is OK, the saved one is empty....


HELP!!!!!!

Not clear why, but you can try this:


sFile = "C:\MYIMAGE.BMP"
If Dir$(sFile) <>"" then Kill sFile
SavePicture Picture1.Image, sFile
