I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.  What are you trying to do?

If you mean can you load an array of pictureboxes at runtime as an array then yes I think you can. This is easier than actually making 101 pictureboxes and loading pictures into them at design time, as you say.

Try using an "image" object at design time. This remains invisible but acts as an array that can store pictures. You can load them into it at either design time or run time.

hmm, is it possible to store pics without having a equal amount of images?

Not quite sure what you mean. Can you explain a little?

just a effect that makes the mirror effect of a pic, left becomes right and right becomes left

Code: [Select]

Private Declare Function BitBlt Lib "gdi32.dll" (ByVal hDestDC As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal width As Long, ByVal height As Long, ByVal hSrcDC As Long, ByVal xSrc As Long, ByVal ySrc As Long, ByVal dwRop As Long) As Long
Const sp_width = 8
Const sp_height = 5

Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
Dim p(1 To 2) As StdPicture
Set p(2) = LoadPicture("C:\Documents and Settings\Pelle\Mina dokument\RPG\General Items\Bottle Liquids\Blod.gif")

x = Form1.width / 2
y = Form1.height / 2
   'BitBlt Form1.hDC, x, y, sp_width, sp_height, Image1.Picture, 0, 5, vbSrcAnd
  'BitBlt Form1.hDC, x, y, sp_width, sp_height, Image1.Picture, 0, 0, vbSrcPaint
BitBlt Form1.hDC, x, y, sp_width, sp_height, p(2).hDC, 0, 0, vbSrcCopy
End Sub
ive created this code, it just complain, why? can someone tells me what im doing wrong?

Using BitBlt eh?

That is fairly advanced programming. Congratulations on getting this working at all. It took me ages to get BitBlt to work in any programs and I still don't fully understand all its capabilities.
I haven't ever tried to use a mirror effect so I can't really help you without researching it a little myself first.

Are you getting the main picture to work properly with the BitBlt function? What exactly happens that is not right?

when I put the image in a picture box it worx. but if I load it and store its as a array it doesnt, I just need to get it to be able to read from the stored array

You should try and find a VB game programming forum to help you.  You're fast approaching the edge of our expertise (DB didn't really do much advanced graphics programming).
