I've asked this before, but
is there a way to take one picture box and ceate the illuison of it spinning? Any ideas?
Also, anybody have any suggestions on creating a cool spash screen for an app? I've created plain stuff before, but would really like to spice up the latest project. Thanks.

1. Get the image you want in the picture box.
2. Make a copy of that picture backwards
3. Write a subroutine that :
- Reduces the width in exponential increments
- Changes the left position so the middle doesn't move
- Automatically Resizes the picture in it naturally
- When it reaches Width = 0 changes to the backwards picture
- Increases the width by the same exponential increments
- Automatically Resizes the picture in it naturally
- Repeat to change back to the original picture

Thanks Gen-X. Stupid question, how to make a copy of my picture backwards? I can use either a standard ICO file or BMP but don't know how to makeit backwards...

Use MSPaint to flip/rotate it.
Image > Flip/Rotate
-
Or use PaintPicture.
Code:
Me.PaintPicture Picture1.Picture, Picture1.Width, Picture1.Height, -1 * Picture1.ScaleWidth, -1 * Picture1.ScaleHeight
-
or if you're still stuck, send me the image and I'll flip it for you in a professional program becuase paint isn't the greatest quilty

Thanks guys on the spinning picture answers. Any thought on a splash screen?
