AutoSize Sprites

You can use BitBlt to make the sprite different sizes

Didn't realize bitblt would adjust sprite and size it proportionatly,
rather than clipping it.

I use bitblt with my sprite (no images boxes) so will give it a try.

It would probably be better to use StretchBlt .

Thanks - since prev reply came to that conclusion. I handle
the sprite in memory using CompatibleBitMap and CompatabileDC.

Do you know if StretchBlt can used to copy the sprite (overlay) onto itself or do I need a separate area in memory?

You can use it the same way you use BitBlt. Are you wanting to load the sprite into memory from a file fisrt? I'm not sure what you are asking.

Let me rephrase:

Both BitBlt and StretchBlt take a source and destination.

Do you know whether the source and destination can be the same location?

If so, then I can just change the size of my sprite and stretchblt
it to the extact same location.
