Question : Save FoxPro Form or Container as jpg or gif

Hi,

I have written a charting application using Visual FoxPro 6 as an offline application. It is very similar to MS Graph except that it's very customized to our client's needs. I have been asked to write this application online. I have written the online application in FoxPro using FoxISAPI as my web server. I can create a Form when the web application is instantiated and plot the graph on a container in that form. The form, of course, is not visible to the user and neither on the server. What is the best way to save that Form to a jpg or gif file so the user can download it? Can an ActiveX application work? Or should I use a drawing class by Windows?

Many thanks.

Cyril

Answer : Save FoxPro Form or Container as jpg or gif

Download Obj2Bmp by George Tasker from www.universalthread.com downloads section. It lets you save an entire form or any object on it as a bmp.
Also you could use winAPI to create DIB and save.

If excel is used in your charting then you could use PublishObjects method to save the chart as a web page (either interactive or static - creates the gif for you).
