Visual Basic :: Common Dialog: Import A Picture File Into Picture Box?

Save Picture Filename With Common Dialog
I have problem here. I want to save the image from picture box to my computer. I use common dialog, the filename is extract form text21. But When I change this filename to other filename, It save without extension *.jpg. But If I follow what the filename given, it save with extension *.jpg. How I use recommended filename or my own filename and save it with extension at the end of the filename.

Code:
'SAVE pest picture from picturebox to file
With CommonDialog2
.fileName = Text21.Text & ".jpg"
.Filter = "Image (*.*)|*.*"
.ShowSave
If Len(.fileName) <> 0 Then
SavePicture Picture2.Image, CommonDialog2.fileName
MsgBox "File berjaya disimpan di " & CommonDialog2.fileName
End If
End With

Is It Impossible To Import Database With Using Common Dialog Box?
I am using Common Dialog Box to import file (Access Database). I wrote for code following:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Option Explicit
Dim FileName As String
-------------------------------

Private Sub Form_Load
*
*
Set Dbs = OpenDatabase(FileName)
Set Rst = Dbs.OpenRecordset("Query")
*
*
End Sub

Private Sub open_Click()
dlgCommon.ShowOpen
FileName = dlgCommon.FileName
End Sub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When i try to run this program,
"Select Data Source" dialog box pops up,
then if i choose "MS Acceess Database",
I am getting error message as following:

"Run-Time error 3423
You cannot use ODBC to import from, export to, or link an
external Microsoft Jet or ISAM database table to your
database."

I can't open database this way?
Do I have to use DirListBox, DriveListBox or TreeView to open and import file?

Please help me!
Thank you in advance.

Resizing A Picture On Import
I am importing a picture that needs to be resized to fit a picture box. I know I could use autosize, but that will not work in this instance. Does anyone know of a way to actually change the dimensions of a picture right after the user selects the picture to import to a specific size, such as 100 x 100. The code I currently have is below. Any help is greatly appreciated! Oh, and I'm using .net.
Code:
Private Sub btnPic_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPic.Click
'Open dialog box to import a picture

With ofd
.CheckFileExists = True
.CheckPathExists = True
.Filter = "Images|*.bmp;*.tiff;*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;"
.Multiselect = False
.ShowHelp = False
.Title = "Select an Image"
End With

If ofd.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
Dim tmpBMP As New Bitmap(ofd.FileName)
CoverPic.Image = tmpBMP
End If
End Sub

Get Size Of Picture Before Import
I have a few jpgs that I'm loading into a picture box depending on which option the user picks. But the problem is that they're not all the same size.

How do I get the size, in pixels, of the jpg that i'm loading so i can resize the picture box accordingly?

Making A Picture Fit The Picture Box Instead Of The Box Fitting The Picture.
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a picture fit the picture box instead of the box fitting the picture. So I would want the picture to get smaller like the image preview on windows xp, when you click once on a pic and it shows the details and a small form preview of the pic yet not disformed (i.e NOT STRECHED)

Can someone show me how to do this?

Thank you and have a great day!

File New Common Dialog
I've seen in an application a common dialog box very similar with the Save File Common Dialog Box, but instead of the Save button it had Create button.
I want to create something similar in my app. I assume it is a parameter that I have to rename in my Common Dialog box and then call .ShowSave.
How can I rename that Button to "Create"?

Thanks so much.

Scale A Picture To Fit In A Picture Box And Maintain Height To Width Ratio?
I am writing a program where I would like to allow the user to load pictures into a data record, and these would be displayable by a picture box on the form showing the record. The problem I have is that if the picture is too big, it is clipped, and if I use an image with the stretch method, I risk having the picture distorted as the Height to Width ratio could then be altered by the code. I'd like a way to scale a picture to fit in the picture box, while maintaining the Height to Width ratio. Any suggestions?

Code To Place A User Selected Picture As The Background Picture
This is an odd request. My company (in its infinite wisdom) has decided to automatically place the company logo as the background picture at network logon.

I'd like to write a little VB program that I could put in the Startup folder that would replace that with my selected picture automatically.

Any ideas on how to access the Windows Background property? Thanks.

List Box Selected/picture Box/radio Buttons To Flip Picture
If I have a list of say 50 text items dumped as an array in the list box, and clicking on 1 item brings up a picture in a picture box, and there are two radio buttons next to the picture, one default with the list selection text(no change), but the other one, when clicked, brings up a different picture; in other words, once the selection is made in the list box, is it possible to flip between images with the radio buttons.

I would have done it with Select Case, but that means having the full list of items in the list box in the code of the radio button. Is there a better way?

Get File Names From MS Common Dialog
Hello-
I have used a Microsoft Common Dialog 6.0 control in my Visual Basic project with multi-select set to true. Now I need to call each file that was selected into a string that is being written to a text file. Each file name will be a new line in the text file. Not sure, but I think I need to use a Do/Loop to build this list of files. I used the "Open" method to open a file then the "Output" method to write to the file. The best method I can see to use is "Write" to amke the output to the file. But I am not sure how to iterate over the selcted files writing a new line for each file. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Common Dialog Predetermined File ?
hi , im taking a look at a file sender made by someone else , and they used common dialog to search for files to send , is there a way to illiminate this process and have a predetermined a file to send

im trying to make a small game that involves file sending back and forth , and would like to assign a command button for each of these predermined files within the game

so say the the file locations would be:

C:Program FilesOpForAnimations1

C:Program FilesOpForAnimations2

C:Program FilesOpForAnimations3

C:Program FilesOpForAnimations4

instead of using common dialog to find them , id like to have something easier like

Private Sub Command1_Click()
send file C:Program FilesOpForAnimations1
End Sub

im such a noob , and im sorry for that , i just want a predetermined location rather than using common dialog manually if thats possible
