autoredraw error

[joey o.]

Hi

Why would I get an error stating "Unable to create object autoredraw for picIrCut" from vb? picIrCut is a hidden autoresize picbox that holds a bmp from the clipboard for the purpose of getting a cut pic's dimentions before displaying on existing form through bitblit. This picbox worked fine a week ago but since then I added a few more hidden autoresizing, autoredrawing picboxs and now I get that error.

Is it a specific line of code you get the error on???

Yes, when I call the result of the property in any way:

ex:
msgbox picIrCut.hdc
or
picIrCut.picture = picIrCut.image

Is it possible I have run out of handles???
Is there a certain amount of autoredraw objects available???
This is really bad.

I think that handels are of type Long, so you probably are not out of handles....

BTW this is probably a stupid question but do you have the HasDC property to true on the picture box....I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it...but just check it...

Control is identical to others with same functionality except for the name. The error was 340 (I think) I went to help on it and found that VB thinks it's a memory issue but it's not (resources read 55,55,56). I deleted everything but this control, reran it and again it was toast. I created a new control as well and it was able to autoredraw. I'll chaulk it up to a bug or corruption of some sort and make a new control with a new name.
