As CPallini tells you, the answer is "no." If you want to show multiple Images in a PictureBox, you'd have to do some programming to create a composite bitmap and then display it in the PictureBox by assigning it to the PictureBox's Image property.

A simple way to accomplish having a group of Images in the same ContainerControl is to just use a Panel and put as many PictureBoxes as you require in that Panel.

For what they are, PictureBoxes are quite useful, and make "good common sense" for use for what they are intended for.

Solution 1

You cannot. You may assign just one Image at time to a picture box.

Of course you are right. The "tricks" shown in Solution 2 are still based on having just one image per instance of this control. The real thing is: PictureBox class is a poorly redundant one for .NET FCL and could be even useful for some most rudimentary chores if it would not be so massively confusing to the beginners. Our inquirers try to misuse this class with disappointing regularity... :-)

Neither one of those links really addresses the question asked, and the first one does not show source code and has a broken link to download the 'dll required.

Note: I did not down-vote this.

But probably op found it helpful someway, as he up-voted it and accept the solution, :)

Well, as Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote in Cat's Cradle: "and so it goes" :)

Happy New Year, Bill
