Though I haven't tried this, I imagine the easiest way would be to print the RTF to a TBitmap.Canvas manually using TextOut and manually setting the properties. &nbsp;I don't think there is a way to just designate the RTF Print Canvas short of rewriting your own TRichEdit based on the TcustomRichEdit and overriding the Print routine there to output to a TBitmap.Canvas instead of the Default PRinter DC (if you have the VCL Source, lookup TRichEdit.Print to see how they do it). I know it's an ugly solution but it is the only way I am aware of to do a bitmap from a RichEdit as the PainTo call does nothing more than display a bitmap of the control itself not the contents therofAndy<br />

That works good but maybe is wasn't very clear... &nbsp;I need to do this without the RichEdit component visable the example above didn't work when the 'RichEdit1.Visible := False' for obvious reasons. <br />

How can I convert the contents of RichEdit to a Bitmap in an efficient manner? The ideal situation would be to read a rich text file from memory and then convert to a Bitmap.

Converting RTF (Contents of RichEdit) to Bitmap

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
