If you use DirectX, then you might run into some problems with incompatibilities when rendering to a texture. I might be mistaken, but I think that you can simply bitblt from a surface to a texture in directx 7, but then there may be some card compatibility problems.
The easiest way would be to create temporary bitmap files. In pseudo code it would be something like
Start DirectX and fine largest texture size supported by the video card.
Resize Picturebox1 to that size
For Each Tile
Load Image into Picturebox2
BitBlt or Paintpicture to a location in PictureBox1
End Type
Save PictureBox1 As temp.bmp
Load temp.bmp into a Directx surface |
