PictureBox Auto Redraw and refresh

[Zaknafein]

In the game I'm working on I have two lables inside a picture box that is the combat screen. The problem is that the picture box has to refresh constantly which causes the lables to flash. Does anyone know of a way that I can avoid this without removing the lablels from the picture box?

Hi
The best soln is probably to not use Label controls and instead print directly to the picture box. This will stop any flickering
eg

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Randomize
    z = Rnd * 5000
    zz = Rnd * 5000
    Picture1.Line (z, zz)-(zz, z)
    With Picture1
        .CurrentX = 300
        .CurrentY = 300
        [b]Picture1.Print "Label1"[/b]
        .Refresh
    End With
End Sub

And don't worry if "Print" is not in the functions list, it works

Just set the CurrentX and CurrentY to the coordinates where you wanna print the text, and use that function to print it.
