Picture box flip

[Mikethegoalie]

hey guys, me again. Question. I have a picture box on my hockey program and i really wanna confuse my friends. When they click the command button in the program, i want the picture box ( not image box) to flip vertically. How can i go through with this?
thanks, mike

and i also i want the text to flip with the picture.

you could have two images with the program, and load the upside down one when they click the button.

I did something similar (I rotated the image) but it involved a lot of code and was slow. marcdoyles suggestion would be a good idea (and very quick) if the text is part of the image.

Try this code. This will help you flipping images in a picture box.
___
[tt]
Private Sub Picture1_Click()
With Picture1
.AutoRedraw = True
.PaintPicture .Picture, 0, 0, , .ScaleHeight, , .ScaleHeight, , -.ScaleHeight
.Picture = .Image
.AutoRedraw = False
.Cls
End With
End Sub[/tt]

If you want to rotate through any arbitary angle (whilst at the same time avoiding the normal solutions on the web for solving this problem that provide code for moving the image pixel by pixel) have a look at my SetWorldTransform solution in thread222-535523
