picture box for forms

Hi,

here's my problem: I need to draw lines on a map of the world to
visualize global material flow in an access form. The line width and
x/y will change depending on selected material classes. I've tried to
use Stephen Lebans' ImageClass but it's way beyond my skills. I can, of
course, load the map of the world and draw the lines then. But if I
clear the display or reset the buffer, I always end up with the
underlying grey image. Is there a way to integrate my own picture as a
standard picture that survives the functions buffer reset and clear
display?

Thanks for your help,
Nic

I don't understand your issue. The Class exposes a LoadImageControl method.
Just call it from the form's Load event(after you have instantiated an
instance of the clsPictureBox object) or call it programmatically whenever
you need to.

Stephen, thanks so much! That was the clue. Now it works just as I
hoped it would. Thanks again.
