Hi,

How can i create bitmap of a window form with all its child controls
without showing this form?
1. I am trying to create bitmap image of a window form.
2. I am creating a new instance of Form at runtime.
3. And it`s visibility is set to be false.
4. Then adding several controls like Button, RadioButton,CheckBox etc
to it.
5. Now i want to create bitmap with all controls showing on it which
are added to this form.


I am trying it by Control.DrawToBitmap().But in this way i am not
getting the controls in that bitmap of the form which are added to
it.But when i am showing the form , all controls appears in the
bitmap.But i want such bitmap without showing form or being visible.


How can i make it possible? Kindly reply ASAP.
