There were som good examples in SDK on GetDeviceCaps. The initial test I made seems to work. I have to read more about the structure parameters though. Great idea!<br />

When dealing with many or very large DC's you can get &quot;Run-time error 480: Can't create autoredraw image&quot;. According the documentation this is caused by unsuffcient memory. However, I get this error inspite the system has sufficient RAM (and enough swap file). For some reason Win98 and Win2000 behave differently. Win2000 is able to use more pictures, before this error is raised. I suspect this has little to do with the actual system memory.<br />
<br />
Question:<br />
<br />
How can I estimate the total size of all DC's (in MB) that the system can handle? I want to avoid the error and I DO NOT WANT TO TRAP the error. At the point you trap the error the system is already VERY unstable. GlobalMemoryStatus will not work!<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
