Game console in a pictureBox VB?

Hi experts!

How can i have a console (game) on/in a pictureBox on a form? Or is it not possible or really hard to do? Will i need directx/directdraw?

Thanks peeps!

WHAT????

can you go into more detail?

are you hoping to emulate a console with a few lines?

Not sure a PictureBox is equipped to handle the type of graphical transitions you would use in a game. Console games are probably a completely different animal from that, in fact…

You could try importing DLLs from your favorite console game emulator (if it has DLLs) and see what objects it might expose. I doubt you'll find anything really effective that way, though.

No no, im not that experienced, i just want to show a few animations and pictures when different events happen in the game. A person walking etc e.g. remember the old batman series when someone gets hit and a POW or CRASH or KABLAMMM image would come on the screen and get bigger… Well that sort of thing.

Im hoping to make a game like 'Drug Lor' but with an image/animation interface.. (i know, im bored).

I have made a program using DirectX and DirectDraw that animates a man walking but i wanted this in just a section of a form. Is it possible?

Thanks

it would be easy to change the picture to various gif's etc
