Hello, all:

I am wondering if the following is possible. If so, any tips or code
snippets would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I have a CListCtrl with a lot of items in it. I am trying to copy the
list
control to a CBitmap. I can copy it correctly, but I run into problems
when
the list control has more items than are viewable in the client area. For
example, if the list control can only display three items and I have ten
items to display, the list control will only display the first three items
and display a scroll bar, indicating there are more items if I scroll
down.
I want to have all items copied into the CBitmap, for the bitmap is a
legend.

I have thought of some solutions, but I'm not sure if they are viable. I
would like direction before I venture down any paths. First, is it
possible
to obtain a DC to every item IN the list control -- displayed or not -- so
I
can then copy the DC to a bitmap. Another possible solution includes
making
a copy of the list control to a "hidden" list control. Then I could
expand
the new list control until all items are displayed and then copy it to a
bitmap. Is there another solution to this problem?

Thank you, all, for your kind feedback and continued support.
