The easiest way is using Point which is supported by picture boxes:

-
Color=Picture1.Point (10,10)
-

But ya can also use the *much* faster API command. (You need the DC of the picture box):

-
'In module
Declare Function GetPixel Lib "gdi32" Alias "GetPixel" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long

'Anywhere
Dim DC as Long
Dim Color as Long

DC = Picture1.hDC
Color = GetPixel( DC, 10, 20 )
-

i think that's enough ;)

Every program can be reduced to one instruction which doesn't work.

Also will this work if the picture's on a form?
