Thank you. Drawing the text in the Paint event handler of the PictureBox seems like the better approach. I have been doing some searching and I see how to add a Paint handler tot he form, but not to a specific PictureBox.

For example, I found this:
Code:
AddHandler PictureBox_Paint, AddressOf Me.PictureBox_Paint
but it seems that this would affect every picture box on the form. Please show me the line(s) of code to add the Paint event to PictureBox pb1.
