Painting a portion of a picture to array of picture boxes

[MrVB50au]

Hi,

I have made an activeX control button that has a picture box contained in it. I have created a background for a form and now want a portion of the background to be copied to these buttons of different size. how am I able to do so in the Form_Load event after the picture has been tiled on the form?

Thank you for your time,

Andrew G.

hmmmm..sounds interesting..

can you write the code of the Active X control ..i think i can help you..but i still need to study your code

There is some code in this thread708-428674 for capturing the desktop or portions of it. I think you should be able to use it to capture the form and then the portion of where your button is. Unfortunatly this will need to be done after the form is displayed with its graphic and if your button is visable at this time then you will get nothing but a picture of your button.

I hope this helps, Good Luck
