Hi Caroline,

Thank you and Metin for your comments and suggestions which resulted in a success.

I tried the mouse up event but for some unknown reason required the form to be clicked to redisplay the image, so what I did was just put a timer onto the form and every second check if the image.visible = .F. and if so, make image.visible = .T.

So easy when you know how!

Regards...Rex

>>Yes, the control does have a visible property and using this would be perfect, however the trick is knowing when to turn it off and on. For example, I can set the ocx.image.visible = .F. as the first line of the resize method. However, at what point is the resize event completed so that I can ocx.image.visible = .T.?
