Drawing DirectX surface to an Image (possible?)

Anyone know if it's possible to get a directx device to draw to an
Image instead of a control/form handle?

I've been given a task that seems harder than it looks.. I have a form
which contains no controls, and draws everything in the OnPaint event.
I need to draw directx output during the OnPaint in the graphics object
(don't ask why)... I tried dynamically creating a panel and adding it
to the form, but it flickers horribly because of other things drawn
during the OnPaint event. I'm not sure how get the panel to draw itself
after other things are drawn on the form, it just flickers badly. I'm
gonna try clipping the area but I would rather draw in an area on the
form itself instead of adding a panel control and passing the
handle....


Hopefully I explained that properly lol...
