Gosh this should be easy !!!

[Evan]

Just tell me how to do this..

Make a picture variable
Store a picture from a file in the Hdrive
Put the picture onto the screen from the var..

Thanks!

Picture Varible

Public Yourvar as IPictureDisp

---------------------------------------
Store a Picture from HD

Set Yourvar = LoadPicture("Picture_Name")

---------------------------------------
Put the Picture onto the screen from the var

What do you mean by that? Can you express it more clearly?

[Evan]

I loaded a picture with that code and
it said the object does not support
that method.. being the IpictureDisplay
controll does not have the Picture
property.
I then tried the property of HPal
and then I got error 91

Thanks.

He didn't say IPictureDisplay he said IPictureDisp

I have found it next to impossible loading graphics on the "inside" by creating your own variables be they in this format or in StdPicture format.

The best way I have found is to place a PictureBox on your form that is always invisible and use that.

Not really. PicBoxes and Image Ctls cost a ton of memory, so I'd recommend against using them for heaven's sake if you want speed over ease.

Evan - I abbreviate names and these things, but I NEVER abbreviate code, so you don't have to figure out what it really is.

Oh, and Where did you get the idea of HPal?

[Evan]

I was just tried different
ways to store a picture
with that ctrl.

OK, just making sure you understood that.
