Combine the images to one BitMap by drawing them yourself with Graphics class. You can also dynamically draw the images to one control/form with Paint event and same Graphics class.

I had the same problem when creating an analogic clock. I used 4 pictureboxes and drew the background image on the first picturebox. PictureBox1.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.cadrNoir PictureBox2.Parent = PictureBox1 PictureBox2.BackColor = (Color.Transparent) PictureBox3.Parent = PictureBox2 PictureBox3.BackColor = (Color.Transparent) PictureBox4.Parent = PictureBox3 PictureBox4.BackColor = (Color.Transparent)

im beginner in vb.net
How to create a Graphic class?
do you have a tutorial for Paint event?

 

[JohnH]

You should read the relevant help pages at MSDN Library, also, this place is a great resource for learning about drawing: GDI+ FAQ main index

 

[ilinkDizon]

do you have a sample project? in vb.net?

 

[JohnH]

There are examples in places I mentioned, it is not much more than that, see these:
Control.Paint Event (System.Windows.Forms)
Graphics.DrawImage Method (Image, Point) (System.Drawing)

My 1st Problem [SOLVED]
Thank you JohnH...


I have another problem....
I have one problem based on move/update one bitmap in the picture box.
many bitmap are in picture box, now I want to move one bitmap only.
Currently I am trying clear image in picture box, again redraw all bitmap,
Any other way please help.....

 

[JohnH]

Fixed images you can draw to one Bitmap and display with PictureBox, dynamic parts may be better to use Paint event to draw, when change occur you would refresh (or invalidate/update) and draw at new position.

JohnH,

Im using a timer event to change bitmap position not in the paint event... if i use paint event how can i change the position of bitmap per second?

thanks a lot JohnH

Use a timer to trigger changes and refresh.
