using a few threads, i put together this app for making a level and previewing it. The old thread i used to set a picture arry is gone. If you can help me with creating a picutrebox array in this project, it would be greatly aprechiated, thanks,

What are you trying to do in your cmdPreview_Click event?

[MeTTa@]

Recreate the level using 15x15 image boxes, (forgot to make grid invisible), not that that matters.

Is it really necessary to create an array with 225 pictureboxes? Don't you want to save the whole Flexgrid picture in only 1 picture?

[MeTTa@]

Sure! If it can be done with minimal confusion, if you know a way, that would be great. Or second thoughts, no, because if i want to change individual images later on (during game), i cant code it as easily. Id like to stick with an array of images.

Well using just 1 picture is much easier,
In your Form_Load event add this to MSFlexGrid1 With Block..

.GridLines = flexGridNone

So the Flexgrid Gridlines won't be there, then, MSFlexGrid1.Picture is your whole map picture. If you want to save it to file just..

SavePicture MSFlexGrid1.Picture, "C:\MyMap.bmp"

If you want to add the picture to a Picturebox..

Picture4.Autosize = True
    Picture4.Picture = MSFlexGrid1.Picture
    Picture4.Visible = True

Well, but that hasn't much sense cause the Flexgrid already looks like that, that was just in case you wanted to add the image to a picturebox

and how can i create images from scratch? (with an array)

What that means? don't understand.

Well if you notice, i have intGrid(0 to 14,0 to 14) can be 1-3 (pic type). For preview i want it to create 255 images, in a array, and depending on the intGrid number, its image will change correctly. (i dont know how to create all those image box's from code)

Ok, I think this is what you were trying to do. I used Image Controls added at runtime. Check out the attachment.
