Jeffrey, Want to import bitmaps into your drawing program? Need to print nicely? Take a look at the file, BMPKIT.ZIP, which I just uploaded today. It should appear in a day or two, I hope. It lays out the whole procedure for scaling and printing bitmaps, something that should have been in VB from the start. Anyhow, it works, and is a helluva lot better solution than PrintForm.

All: The rubber-banding problem may be caused by having AutoRedraw set True. The simple example in the VB manual won't work unless AutoRedraw is set to False. With it set that way, however, using Drawmode = 10, then drawing your object twice, produces an acceptable rubber-band drawing mode, although the repeat rate is a bit slow. If AutoRedraw is set True, however, you get nothing on the screen until you draw the permanent line on MouseUp. George There are 2 Replies.

Hi George, There is an article in the Knowledge Base that demonstrates how to create a rubber band within VB. There is even one that will create a rotating line like the way you see the lights in Las Vegas and the way they look like they are moving by alternating on and off effects. Don Funk

Don, Thanks. I'll take a look at it. I just took the example from the manual, then changed the DrawMode until it worked. I had no idea that setting AutoRedraw to True would shut it off. I confess to still being confused, but it does work. George
