Hello,


Try painting the text onto the picturebox control and then saving the image like this.

Are you using a picturebox to display the picture you take?

If so then use this code in your picturebox_paint event:

Code: Select all

        Dim drawString As String = "robby1998"
        Dim drawFont As New Font("Arial", 16)
        Dim drawBrush As New SolidBrush(Color.WhiteSmoke)
        Dim drawPoint As New PointF(80, 80)
        e.Graphics.DrawString(drawString, drawFont, drawBrush, drawPoint)    
    

Dim drawstring is the word/text you want to appear on your image
Dim drawBrush is the color of the word/text
Dim drawfont is the font style and size of the text
Dim drawPoint is the location within the picturebox where you want the text to appear

So change those to suite your need .

Then add this code to your save button or whichever control you use to save the image:

Code: Select all

Dim savefiledialog1 As New SaveFileDialog
        savefiledialog1.Title = "Save File"
        savefiledialog1.FileName = "MyCapture.bmp"
        savefiledialog1.Filter = "BMP |*.bmp"
        If savefiledialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim bmp As New Drawing.Bitmap(PictureBox1.Width, PictureBox1.Height)
            PictureBox1.DrawToBitmap(bmp, New Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height))
            bmp.Save(savefiledialog1.FileName, Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)
        End If

And that should be it.

Happy coding! cooll;
