Afternoon, Big Tee.

As an initial suggestion, you could try grabbing the DC of the control which is displaying the text. i.e. if the text is displayed inside a listbox, then grab the DC of that listbox. Copy the DC to a compatable memory DC, withwhich you've associated a bitmap. Use the bitmap as your image.

If the text is greater than the size of the control, then you could try creating a memory DC of the required size, and writing the text into it.

Cheers,
Scronty
