 Why a picturebox instead of form Practically every example with graphical API functions (BitBlt, LineTo,
etc...) use a PictureBox as DC, why not a form? Is there a major advantage
to it?
Thanks,

Why a picturebox instead of form i bet its because of the overhead no doubt a picturebox uses half the
memory of a form

Why a picturebox instead of form So using a picturebox (nearly) the size of my form would be smart thing to
do?

No. The second poster was incorrect. The only reason that pictureBoxes are
normally used is that is is easier for the pupil to place graphics, etc,
with a normal control, than it would be with a form's DC. There is no
difference in the results; if you are looking to paint over your form, I
suggest you use the form's DC.
