Hi Daniel,
I also am unable to upgrade because of bugs in the newer versions, so I 
can't test this in Xojo 2018. But Jon Ogden's second solution is what I 
have done a few times. If you add a picture property (myPic) to a window 
or a module and then do three things to your code:
1) Every time you change the szie of the canvas, change the picture size 
to match.
2) Every place that you have "me.Graphics", change it to "MyPic.Graphics"
3) in the paint event of the canvas, put g.DrawPicture(MyPic, 0, 0)

Good luck,
Don
