Pixel level manipulation in vb6

[The Cubist]

I'm working on a simple project and it has been years since I set up vb to use the graphics library any help would be appreciated. I just want to plot some pixels in a picture box.

Hi The Cubist, welcome to VBForums!

You can do this using PSet, eg:

Picture1.PSet (10, 20), vbRed

Note that you will probably want to set the ScaleMode of the PictureBox to Pixel.

That will work just fine thanks alot

You can also use SetPixel, which is a bit more efficient.

Declare Function SetPixel(ByVal hDC As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal crColor As Long) As Long
 
' usage:
SetPixel Picture1.hDC, 10, 20, vbRed
