Opening a Existing file

[Evan]

Hi,

This is something I dont understand.. AT ALL.
I even have a example I cant figure it out ( the guy wrote it WAY above me)

So could someone give me a SIMPLE example of how to open a BMP file from the computer ( so that the user picks the file)

Help please?

Sure. Add Microsoft CommonDialog Control, PictureBox and Command Button to your form. Change the AutoSize property of the PictureBox to TRUE. Put this code on Button's Click event:


Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strPath As String

On Error Resume Next

With CommonDialog1
.Filter = "Bitmap Files (*.bmp)|*.bmp"
.ShowOpen
If Err.Number = cdlCancel Then Exit Sub
strPath = .FileName
End With
Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture(strPath)
End Sub




Regards,
