How can I create a tiled or centered bitmap on the back of a form?  I
can place a bitmap on the background, but if the form is larger than
the bitmap, it does not cover the whole back.  I do not want the
bitmap stretched, but tiled or centered.

Thanks in advance

try

try

  Bitmap1: TBitmap;

  (on create)
  Bitmap1 := TBitmap.Create;
  Bitmap1 := MainForm.image1.picture.bitmap;

  (on paint)
  Form1.Canvas.Draw(width div 2, height div 2, Bitmap1);

  (on destroy)
  Bitmap1.Free;

i don't know if this is the 'correct' way to handle it, but i would just
form.canvas.draw the bitmap in a x- and y- loop in the form.onPaint routine
until it fills the canvas.
