Mike What if the richtextbox has image in their? Can you read and position the image along with text? By the way I couldn't find the screen capture code you referred on this web site. Could you provide a link?

The other possibility is to write a Draw Routine that goes through every letter of the richtextbox and gets its color and font then it uses GDI+ to draw each letter to a bitmap with the DrawString method. Of course you would also need to read the position of the letter to decide where to put it. Perhaps I'll write an article on it to make it clearer -Mike

I need whole RichTextBox's content but RichTextBox can have scrollbars.

Best bet is to get a screen capture of the form area. See the screen capture articles on this site. -Mike G.
