i have tried tons of methods using loadpicture
i have tried every code sniplet i have found on the net
nothing works.

Loading A Picture In A Picturebox
Will someone tell me why this won't work:

Code:

The PicturePath is a string with a valid filepath, yet I keep getting a type mismatch error.

Loading A Picture Into A Picturebox...easy...?
OK, I have a byte array, in memory.
If I save this byte array to my hard drive then I can use:

VB Code:
'Save my byte array to "E:Woof.jpg"imgPerson.Picture = LoadPicture("E:Woof.jpg")

However...I don't want to save to the HD 1st...is there anyway of getting the byte array into an image box or pic box without saving 1st???

Getting PictureBox.Picture Filename From A Picturebox
How do you get the filename associated to a pictureboxes .picture property. when i do picturebox.picture after i've set it's picture using the loadPicture fuction all i get returned is a string of numbers.

Picture In Picturebox Moves To Picture Box On Its Left
Let's say you have a form with X number of picture boxes. How I can get the picture in each picture box to "go to" the picture box on its left?

NOTE: there will always be a picture box with no picture in it

Any help would be appreciated.
ex:
[nothing] [pic] [pic]

(User clicks command button):
[pic] [pic] [nothing

ex using 4 picture boxes:
[pic] [nothing] [pic] [pic]

(User clicks command1):
[pic] [pic] [pic] [nothing] (the two last picture boxes moved over one to the left, so there would not be a picture box with nothing in it right in the middle of things

I hope this makes sense and someone can help me

Problem With Picturebox When Loading Jpg
Hi,

Kindly help me on my problem,
Here's the scenario:
I created a (Image/Picture) in Adobe Photoshop with 300dpi size height 5.5cm width 5.5cm (imagine a size of a credit card)and save it as .JPG file (ex. IDcard.jpg)

The problem is when I loaded it in the picturebox the image is too big! Why??? But i already set the properties autodraw = true and height 8.5cm width 5.5cm

what i expect to see is the actual size of the image of the .jpg without manipulating the setting the of image's width and height.

pls help me..

Array Picturebox Not Loading???
VB Code:
Const Area_ = 225 Public Sub Create_Edit_Map(X_Area As Integer, Y_Area As Integer, Fill_Area As String) Dim X_ As Integer Dim Y_ As Integer Y_ = 0 X_ = 0 Do Until X_ = X_Area X_ = X_ + 1 Load Map_Edit.Map(X_ + Y_) Map_Edit.Map(X_ + Y_).Left = (Map_Edit.Map((X_ - 1) + Y_).Left + Area_) MsgBox X_ + Y_ & " | " & Map_Edit.Map(X_ + Y_).Left Loop End Sub

The msgbox correctly shows that the picture boxes do exist... however they don't show up on the form! I've checked if they are invisible and it's false... Their top is set to 0.

Also this is being called from a module... would that be the cause of this?

I am not able to load an instance of PictureBox at runtime? Can somebody provide me with the correct syntax.

Loading Record(s) Into PictureBox?
Hello!

Does anyone know of a method to load up a SQL database table's records into a picturebox?
Say for example, the particular table in question has about 10 database fields.

FirstName, LastName, Address, City, State, Zip, CustomerID, Phone, Misc, Counter.

The 'Counter' is pretty much the table's primary key.
Underneath each field, let's say that I've got about 30 rows. 30 records, to be more specific.

I can manage selecting the entire 30 records via a SQL statement, and had the information previously coded to show up in TextFields and ComboBox controls.
This was great for updating and searching a particular database. The approach that I used was fantastic for
cycling through and stuff, which refreshed the form with new data and all that jazz, but now I'm at a certain fork in the road.

I'd like to code a form of print, by which I can have the entire 30 records displayed in a pictureBox. It'll act as a sort of 'print preview', before the user has
the option to print out that particular pictureBox. My real question, however, is how would I go about assigning the data that I've pulled from the SQL database
into a PictureBox control? I'm imagining Columns and Rows would have to be set, but I'm having a hard time getting started in preparing the particular PictureBox,
especially the code that incorporates the PictureBox as a means of display.

Can anyone help??

Loading A Big Picture Onto Picture Box Control
Hello,

I want to load big .jpg pictures from files into 200x150pixel imagebox controls (with loadpicture), with the stretch property of the imagebox set to true (so pictures are resized to fit the imageboxes). In fact I need to create a sort of thumbnails browser for my project.

But I would like to avoid the use of too much memory when loading, let's say a 1600x1200 pixels 24bits bitmap in this 200x150pixel imagebox. The loadpicture works well but the program keeps the full size of the original picture in memory (in this example this is +/- 5 Mb!), rather than only the only 90 kb needed for storing the real 200x150pixel 24bit image. It is all about sparing the max memory, imagine with 10 jpg loaded at the same time !

So my question is : how can I downsize a picture when loading it into an imagebox ? I want also to keep the possibility to use this picture for other operations (so the paintpicture or bitlbt procedures are not very suited).

Or, anyway, if I paintpicture in a PictureBox, how can I get and re-use this content with let say PictureBox1.Picture ...

Thanks a lot for your guidelines !

Picturebox Gets Locked After Loading An Image
Hi,

I'm trying to load a picture in a picturebox and then recognize it with a OCR, but when I load a picture it says I haven't drawn anything yet!
I read that the picturebox gets locked after you load an image into it, could this be the problem?
I'm using this project: http://planetsourcecode.com/vb/scrip...42632&lngWId=1
And I added a function that loads a picture into the picturebox where you would normally draw a letter.

Thanks a lot & kind regards

Loading URL In PictureBox Type Control?
Does anyone know of a control out there, similar to PictureBox that will allow you to load an image via a URL and also freeform draw on it, if you want?

Loading Control In Picturebox At Runtime
Ok here's my situation:
**At Runtime** I want to load a new picturebox (its in an array), and in that picturebox I want to be able to load a new label and a new progressbar (both also in arrays). Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I know it is relaticely simple to load a new control, i.e. Load New Winsock1(Winsock1.ubound + 1), but how would I go about loading a control into a picture box? Thanks a lot.

P.S. If you cannot load a control into a picturebox, any clues as to how to load one into a frame? SHould work about the same in my program... thanks a ton if anyone can do this.

Loading Imagelist Images Into A Picturebox
How can I load the images from an imagelist control to a picture box.

Loading PictureBox At Runtime Problem
Well, I have this problem where at runtime, 52 pictureboxes must be created (Yes, its a card game). The problem is, when it starts at the first picturebox, the graphics load fine, but then the others are created inside the first picturebox. (Still with Me?)

Here is the code I am using:
Code:
Sub LoadCards()
    i = i + 1
    Load spade(i)
    spade(i).Picture = (Picture)
    spade(i).Refresh
End Sub

i is a global integer. Don't worry about the picture loading part (I tested and know it works). I've tried putting the frmCardGame.SetFocus before the load part, but that still didn't help . Thanks in Advanced!

Loading Damaged Images In Picturebox
Hi people, I'm writting a thumbnail viewer program, but the problem is that when i pick a directory to generate the thumbs, if that directory contains a damaged picture the loadpicture() function will cause VB or the compile application to just crashes. I put an error handler to catch any errors but it does not work all the time, some times it caches the error before that application crashes and sometimes it just don't and the application crashes. Any help please.

Change The Picturebox Picture "how To Put The Picture Inside The Exe File"
Hi
I tried to change the picture box picture using this command
Pbox.Picture = LoadPicture(".mypic.jpg")
But the problem is that I need to include the jpg file in the same directoy, but I want only to work with the exe file without need to put extra files in the folder.

how can I insert this picture inside the exe file

Loading PictureBox From Memory (binary Data, Byte Array, String)
I have a graphics question, related to loading a PictureBox from data held in memory (rather than from a HD image file such as c: est.jpg). Here's a bit more info of what I am doing....

My code successfully allows the user to pick an MP3 file from their HD and then examines the ID3 tags inside the MP3, and picks out Artist, Song, Album etc. If the ID3 tags are version 2, my code then successfully looks for an embedded Album Cover Picture inside the MP3. If it finds one, I would like to display that image inside a PictureBox control on my form.

The image data is held in my code in a Byte array and I also have it as a String. I have successfully written that data to disk (e.g. to C: est.jpg) and then loaded the PictureBox e.g. pic1.Picture = LoadPicture("C: est.jpg") and the image appears fine. However, I would like to achieve the same result (i.e. the image appears in the PictureBox), without have to save the data to a disk file and then load it back from disk into the PictureBox.

Therefore, to summarise, I would like to take the Byte Array or String of Binary data, and load it directly to the PictureBox to show the image. I can't see any built-in method of the PictureBox to do this, so I'm guessing some sort of API call is needed, using the hDC of the PictureBox.

Forgot to say that the image format will mostly be JPEG but may also be PNG. I'd be happy to just get JPEG working first and worry about PNG later.

Any help or direction much appreciated

Getting More Then 1 Picture In A Picturebox
Hi,
I have one big picturebox, and 5 smaller ones.
the big picturebox doesn't contain any picture yet, why the 5 others contain a different sort of road (not small tiles like usual, but 700 x 500)
the main thing is that if I click on one of the 5 small picture boxes the big picturebox schould contain the image from the clicked small picture box
but when you click a second time on a small picturebox, the big picturebox should contain the first clicked image, and next to that the new clicked image
and you should be able to click as much as you want on the small imageboxes

Thx in Advance

What Is Picturebox.Picture?
What is PictureBox.Picture?
Is it a packed DIB? or just Pixel data of an image...?
I'm facing few problems in turning a DIB Section into an object that can be assigned as Picturebox.Picture.

PictureBox.Picture
I have a Picture Box on my form, and im trying to figure out how to put in whatever image i want in that picturebox.

When the form loads, it will do something like this:

Picture1.Picture = "C:Picture1.jpg"

But i get a type mismatch error.

Im going to have an array of path's to pictures that i load from a file when the program starts, and when you click an item in a tree view, it will display the picture for that item. But i get type mismatch regardless of what i do.

Ive tried loading the pictures out of an imagelist, but that was a no go... Any ideas?

Add Picture To Picturebox
Hi,

I want to do the following thing. There is a textbox and command button. Textbox is allows to have only A...Z, a...z, SPACE.

What I have is 26 images for A to Z and 1 for SPACE. When I type something and hit the command button I need to combine those images and show them to a picture box.

In reality I needed something more flexible which allows me to generate image as I type in textbox. So if I hit backspace then it will delete the last image from the combination.

Now there is no limit of how long the text will be so it's bit hard to achieve the flxible stuff so I am bound to have a Command button which will allow me to generate all the images together in a picture box. Now please don't ask why do I need this. I need it to generate a template.

I think I am making this clear enough to understand.

Cheers.

How Can I Know Picturebox Contains A Picture?
I am developing a paint application. In which i'm facing a problem. In this application some menus should be enabled only if picturebox conaints a picture so how can i know whether picturebox contains a picture or not?

Fit Picture In Picturebox
I have a picturebox with a fixed width and height of 2000 twips. The scalemode is set to pixel. Now I want to load an picture (bitmap), and it must fit the picturebox. I'm trying to do this by setting both scalewidth and scaleheight of the picturebox to either the height or width of the picture (whichever is the highest). however, the picture does not resize, it remains in it's original size.

This is the code I'm using. picSize is a hidden picturebox with autosize set to true, so I can get the width and height of the picture. When I run the code, both scalewidth and scaleheight of picBG (the picturebox that shows the picture) are set to 144, which is indeed the width of the bitmap I'm using.

Code:

picSize.Picture = LoadPicture(InputFile1)
picBG.Picture = LoadPicture(InputFile1)
If picSize.ScaleWidth > picSize.ScaleHeight Then
picBG.ScaleHeight = picSize.ScaleWidth
picBG.ScaleWidth = picSize.ScaleWidth
Else
picBG.ScaleWidth = picSize.ScaleHeight
picBG.ScaleHeight = picSize.ScaleHeight
End If

Anyone got any ideas on why this isn't working? Thanx

Picture Loading
Good day.

1. I load an image file with LoadPicture() function and receive StdPicture.
How can I receive handle of it's bitmap? I need to retrive hBmp from StdPicture to perform bitblt.

2. I've got a hBmp (handle) of a bitmap and perform the following:

Dim bmp as BITMAP
GetObject(hBmp, Len(bmp), bmp)

in order to get bitmap's width/height.
But bmp.bmWidth and bmp.bmHeight ar equal to zero after that.
Why?
