Last view: 6224 days 		So I'm on a project (ROM-Hacking related which I wont talk about untill is near done) but I can't figure how to make a picture box display more than one image. I tried:

lvl.Picture = lvl.Picture + LoadPicture(stuff here)

But that gives me an error at the + sign. The VB Book I have here doesn't says how to add more than one Image to the box. Can anyone tell me how to do that, please.

There may be some VB hackery to do it but pfft, that's just going to be slow and hog resources.

Last view: 6224 days 		Well I read a little document about PaintPicture but the syntax it shows wont work. I tried this:

lvl.PaintPicture(CurDir() + "\sprites\" + sphexnum + ".bmp", xpos, ypos, width, height)

Is that how its suppose to go? Because thats the syntax that was on the document I read, but it gives me an error.

Last view: 5998 days 		PaintPicture takes a "Picture" as an argument, not a filename. LoadPicture(), however, takes a filename and returns a "Picture" from it. So your code is close, but just needs some revision:

lvl.PaintPicture(LoadPicture(App.Path & "\sprites\" & sphexnum & ".bmp"), xpos, ypos, width, height)
