The difference is that Picture is a container. For these two, the WinAPI class is Static. |

What does it mean for it to be a container? How is a container different to a non-container? What can be done with a container that can't be done with a non-container? What are the type of usage scenarios where the picture container would be used instead of the image box? |

For a non-container, it is not possible to place other controls inside.
An ImageBox is just for displaying a picture. And Picture can be used to place other controls, to draw, to display pictures too. |

OK, that answers my question. Thanks for answering. A Picture container can have other controls inside it, but an ImageBox can't. |

If you worked in VB6, there are also ImageBox and Picture controls.
