bitmap from CStatic

hello;
I have a SCtatic control, a rectangle, and i do some drawing in this rectangle, i need to be able to operate on these drawings (some preprocessing for an image processing operation) and i need to have the whole drawing before i can operate, is there an easy way to form a bitmap from the CStatic control content?

thanks for any help
John
