Hello all,

I want to get a control (in my case a CheckBox with the states
Checked=True and Checked=False) as bitmap. It is important for me that
it shows in the desktop theme if the user is using one.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Martin

Use the DrawToBitmap method.

As I replied in the German VB group, you can use
'System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles.VisualStyleRenderer' (.NET 2.0) to draw
themed control parts. You may want to take a look at the implementation of
the 'System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox' class using Lutz Roeder's Reflector in
order to see how this class is used.
