richTextBox.DrawToBitmap Does Not Draw Containing Text?

Question

If I have a richTextBox and run DrawToBitmap on it, it doesn\'t draw any of the text inside of the richTextBox.

Bitmap b = new Bitmap(rtb.Width, rtb.Height         


        

Answer 1

For what it's worth, the later version of the RichTextBox control supports the DrawToBitmap method properly; it also improves performance and has more features.

internal class RichTextBox5: RichTextBox
{
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
    static extern IntPtr LoadLibrary(string lpFileName);

    protected override CreateParams CreateParams
    {
        get
        {
           CreateParams cparams = base.CreateParams; 
           if (LoadLibrary("msftedit.dll") != IntPtr.Zero)
           {
              cparams.ClassName = "RICHEDIT50W";
           }
           return cparams;
         }
    }
}
