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,
