Is it possible to edit a picture control. I would like to add a caption or draw lines on a picture control. I'd like to do it without saving it back to the harddrive. All the GDI+ examples I've found draw directly to the Gui Window or load the images from disk and save them back.

You could try just positioning a text control on top of the picture with the BackgroundTrans option in effect.

Code:

Gui, Add, Text, +BackgroundTrans, Text Here

I thought of that, but the control needs to be moved and redrawn often, which is a performance concern. I'd like to directly modify the picture once and not have to worry about moving multiple controls.

Text, a rounded Rectangle in a picture control, without saving back to disk - all there

How the hell did I miss that?! I read through all the tuts and somehow missed it. Thanks for taking the time to point it out to me.
