Rotating pictures using a single "image box"

Is it possible to rotate an image using one image box only?

and if so could some1 give me an example?

The big problem with rotating an image box is that it has no hDC or hWnd properties. This severly limits the use of API calls.

It does have a PICTURE property, and this picture property refers to a STDPICTURE object that has some properties that *MAY* be useful, but offhand, I haven't done much with that.

Your best bet is to use a picturebox since it has an hDC property. Is there some reason why you have to have an imagebox instead?

I dont know if i have to use image boxes but i want to rotate the people in my game so i dont have to draw so many other pictures

would a picture box be good enough for this?

Sure....a picturebox is pretty much the same as an image box except that it has more properties and methods and takes more resources. But if you don't have too many of them, then the extra resources required are not significant.
