Picture Source

[git]

Hi all,

How could I get the short name of a picture? (without the directory info)

I tried ImageMenu1.Picture = ImageMenu1Name but it recovered a number. I have the image Dim-ed as an Object, so what do I do? It has to be an Object, I have no alternative.

Thanks. =)

This will return the short name of a file.

shortName = Right$(strfullname, Len(strfullname) - InStrRev(strfullname, "\"))

[git]

Thanks. But how do I recover the filname? I try but I keep getting a number (it's an image).

[git]

I mean, I can't recover ANY of the filename, I only get a number..

Please help! =(

What do you mean by getting filename? Do you want to get it from the path? (C:\Windows\MyPic.bmp) or do you want to get it from a PictureBox that already has a Picture loaded?

If you want to get it from the PictureBox, I don't think you can. The pixels have already been drawen and I don't think there is any reference to the original filename in it.

[git]

Yeah, I meant getting the filename of the pic that's been drawn.

Ahwell, gotta redesign part of the prog then.

Thanks. =)
