There is no dilemma, whenever you are not sure a PictureBox can do what you want, well it can't. what magic is it you expect a PictureBox to offer? it is a rather stupid Control, often not worth the trouble. If you need more than just show a single Image, forget about a PictureBox, and paint/draw whatever it is you need on your Form or on a Panel directly. Yes, that takes GDI+ to do it, but then you get what you want, without disappointments. :)
