Collison!!!!!!?????!!!!?????????

Hello,

I have two picture boxes, one which i can move with the arrow keys(picbox1)
the other picture box(picbox2) is static and doesn't move. how can i make picbox1 stop in its tracks when it hits picbox2? is there a way to do this with the (x(0)), Ymin, etc. coords? Anyway is fine.

thanks for any help!

Well It's late and I need sleep. I did make a start on it for you. You need to add the code for the left and right button but you should get the picture by looking at the up and down code. I think there's still something to do on the down code but try it and see.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Activate()
    Me.KeyPreview = True
End Sub

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
    If KeyCode = vbKeyUp Then
        If (Picture1.Top > 0 And Picture1.Top < (Me.Height + Picture1.Height)) Then
            If ((Picture1.Left + Picture1.Width < Picture2.Left) Or (Picture1.Left > Picture2.Left + Picture2.Width)) Then
                Picture1.Top = Picture1.Top - 100
            ElseIf Picture1.Top > Picture2.Top + Picture2.Height Then
                Picture1.Top = Picture1.Top - 100
            End If
        End If
    End If
               
    If KeyCode = vbKeyDown Then
        If (Picture1.Top < 0 Or Picture1.Top < (Me.Height + Picture1.Height)) Then
            If ((Picture1.Left + Picture1.Width < Picture2.Left) Or (Picture1.Left > Picture2.Left + Picture2.Width)) Then
                Picture1.Top = Picture1.Top + 100
            ElseIf Picture1.Top + Picture1.Height < Picture2.Top Then
                Picture1.Top = Picture1.Top + 100
            End If
        End If
    End If
               
End Sub

Hi again,
That code I showed you before can be optimised to work but it's bulky. If you want to read about how to do collision detection and even download and example go here:
