Faster Picturebox loading or alternatives

Question

Hi,

I have a app which is loading between 200-1000 32x32px pictureboxes. All pictureboxes are on screen so I need to load them all and can't just load some. I set up a imageList and then create a picturebox for each image.

As it stands it takes a few secs for the whole set of images to display to the screen screen. Is there a better way to load that many small images than loading 1000 pictureboxes?

If posting the code would help, I will post it when I get home from work.

Thanks

Jay
