Q. How do I scroll a picturebox? 
 
A. There are several ways to accomplish what you 
wish. The two most common are the following:

<li> You can use the PictureBox.Print method to
update the picture box in response to the user 
moving the scrollbar. This method is simple but 
limited. It works well enough for scrolling text.

<li> You can use a _pair_ of pictureboxes, the 
second or "inner" of which is actually much larger 
than the "outer" box which acts as a kind of window 
for viewing part of the larger box. 

This method is handy for displaying graphics that the 
user will browse. If the inner picture box is large, a 
lot of memory will be sacrified and the picture or text 
may be slow to load. Again, your code will scroll the 
inner box in response to the user moving the scrollbar.

If you have not used scrollbars before, take a look at 
Scroll Bars in the on-line help. Pay attention to the 
Scroll and Change events. You will use one of those for 
your code.
