Hi Chandru,

If you don't want the text to be zoomed when the image is resized, you need to draw on the Canvas of the control being displayed. If the text is to be permanent, you can draw on TGraphic.Canvas.

For example, you can create a TCanvas on any windows control:

Canvas := TCanvas.Create;
Canvas.Handle := GetDC(Control.Handle);

Canvas.Font.Size := 10;
Canvas.Font.Name := 'Arial';
Canvas.Font.Style := [fsBold];
Canvas.Font.Color := clLime;
SetBkMode(Canvas.Handle, Windows.TRANSPARENT);

Canvas.TextOut(4, 2, 'Your text');

ReleaseDC(Control.Handle, Canvas.Handle);
Canvas.Free;

Best regards,

Michel
