Hi Michel,

Thanks for the tip. I have windows 2000 and applied the changes you recommended but there is no field named FStartMousePos in either the TDragMouseHandler or the TImageScrollBox. I just removed the reference to the FStartMousePos and tried the changes but I didn't notice a change in the redraw speed.

Scrolling the image is not a big problem; the slowdown only occurs when the ImageScrollBox is being resized. I stepped through the source code and it actually takes about .75 seconds to return from the StretchDiBits function. I can send you a sample project to test on your machine if that would help. I hope that it is something simple I am missing.

I would like to say that I really like the Envision library and I appreciate the excellent support that you are giving.

Cheers!
Ted
