[RESOLVED] Embed picture in project

[sgrya1]

I need to somehow embed a picture into a project so that it cannot be simply replaced. The program is to be distributed so I don't want someone simply replacing the owners logo image file. I suppose that I will have their name written in text in different parts so not sure if anyone would bother anyway.

Is this possible out of interest?

Sure, use a resource file. For an example, download the Picture Viewer app from my signature.

If your form contains an image control with a picture file loaded into it (such as .gif, .jpg, or .bmp), I don't see how that can be replaced by any user. Your owner's logo simply has to be an image file format that VB6 recognizes. You can do this during design time.

That's it. I've been working with pictureboxes and loading logos into that at runtime. Have never used an image control before.
