          Just discovered a slight problemette...

          I can either have it draw in real time and be unable to save the bitmap, or I can have it draw the bitmap once it's complete and save it then.

          Why's that then?

          My first guess would be that the real-time version isn't setting the AutoRedraw property (or whatever it was called) to True...

          You should probably set that in the Properties sheet (or whatever it's called) at design time, rather than having to remember to set it at run time.

          Although of course that's just another of MS's leaky abstractions... IIRC, setting a property at design time merely generates a line in the boilerplate initialisation code that sets it at run time before your own code runs

            Why is it that whenever I make a techy post it goes all quiet?

            It's eerily like a real-world conversation

              Hello Kali

              Where are you going?
              We're moving - sold the house (fingers crossed it all goes through) going to rent for a while and bank the all the filthy lucre
              Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
              "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
              Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

                  Hey Chimp!

                  I was just going through some old boxes and found a photocopied data sheet for an 8250 UART

                  That was from a long time ago!

                    Ooh, an 8250 UART!

                    The original IBM PC had one of those - in 1984, one of my first tasks in my first proper job was to write a dictionary of Forth words to utilise it

                      Ah!

                      The 8250, quickly replaced by the 8250A which had the bugs taken out, then equally quickly replaced by the 8250B with all the bugs put back in since so much software had been written to work around them...

                      Those were the days.
