Maximum Picture Box Size

[Error7]

I assume the maximum height and width of a picture box is double the screen size. If I go above that I get an error 480. "Can't Create AutoRedraw Image".

Can anybody confirm this please.

Well with this code I do not get an error...
[tt]
Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
Picture1.Width = (Screen.Width * 3)
Picture1.Height = (Screen.Height * 3)
Picture1.AutoRedraw = True
End Sub
[/tt]
then again I am not loading a picture into the box. It may be how your graphics card is able to handle the memory???

Good Luck

Thanks for the input.

I tested some sample code, as your example, without loading an image and yes, I got up to * 5 without error.

So I used the same sample code and loaded an image. No problem.

Then realised, (sorry I should have mentioned it in my original thread) that I'm using PaintPicture.

Using a loop, I load first image into Picture2 then PaintPicture to Picture1. Move x y coordinates then repeat until end of loop.

I think it's the PaintPicture method that is creating the error.

Thanks for your help.
