The following is all relating to VB for Windows CE and NOT VB on a normal
windows platform.

At the moment I am using a hidden image control and the DrawImage() method
of the picture box control, which is displayed on the form, to perform a
simple scroll of a large image which is buffred in the hidden image control.
This is extreamly slow and want to use BitBlt() which will be considerably
faster.  So to use BitBlt() I need to get the device context of my large
image so I can blit portions of it.

I can't seem to be able to load an image from a file using the API.  I can
load one into a VB Image or PictureBox control but they don't give you a
device context to use, unlike normal VB.  So the question is how do I load
an image from a file so I can get a DC to it, and/or how do I get a DC to an
Image or PictureBox control.

Thanks in advance
