Im working with a vb6 application that generates barcodes. one of the functions is to save the barcode as an image. currently it takes the whole form as a screenshot like this

anyways, i would like to know how to (if possible) only take a screenshot of the rich text box from the main form (Left one) and put it on the preview (right one).

that code will allow me to take a screenshot of just the rich textbox? – NickHallick May 15 '14 at 14:08
it should, though it might have to be modified to do so. you'd use the `hWnd` of the RTB rather than form. – Ňɏssa Pøngjǣrdenlarp May 15 '14 at 14:13
where would i enter the hwnd of the rtb? – NickHallick May 15 '14 at 14:19
its a functon `GetScreenshot(Optional ByVal hWnd As Long = 0)` so pass it the `hWnd` of the RTB to it. It should work on anything you can get an hWnd for. – Ňɏssa Pøngjǣrdenlarp May 15 '14 at 14:22
yeah i just wrote `RTBarcode.hWnd` and it is working now! thanks so much @Plutonix! – NickHallick May 15 '14 at 14:32
