New to DX

hello all,

I am working on a program and i would like to be able to do the following, but have no clue how to do it!

I want to take a 32x32 size image and make it slowly resize to 48x48 and slowly be able to go back to 32x32. I know how to do this in strait vb.. but it flickers and looks awful. So, how do i do this in DX7 or DX8 or DirectDraw or whatever you suggest. I would like the image to be loaded from a picturebox NOT from a filename.

any help would make me happy

Thanx!!

Rather than try to resize the image, I'd make an animated GIF.

Of course it would not really resize, but it would look as if it was resizing, if the background was set to transparent.

I would use Paintshop Pro 5 Animation Shop, just because I've got it. There are other packages.
