Does anyone know of any way I can draw a string to a picture in memory at a

actual print.  I hate giving myself extra opportunities for typos! :-)

Well, you could encapsulate the two cases into one method.

Or, with RB 4.5, you could use the new vector graphics capabilities (StringShape, in particular). This will save the string in a PICT file as true vector information, i.e., infinite resolution.

Cheers,
