I may be just a moron, but did I not see somewhere where some one could get a capture of an area and save that as a bitmap through code...? Specifically what I want to do is have a popup, for example, the user moves their mouse off it, and it shrinks to a thumbnail. I wanted to take a capture of that area and then run it through a bitmap resize to do the shrinking. I am stopped at capturing the bitmap... Thanks

I think this might be what you're meaning... [old link] It's designed for rendering backgrounds, but if you search for 'bitmap cache' there are a few people who've adapted it for other pruposes. Once the bitmap is cached, you can treat it just as if it were one that you had loaded in.

Bitmap Create is the primitive you need. The items in the view connector are drawn to the bitmap which can then be saved as a file or in a bitmap array or sample&hold.
