I am trying to create a program, which has a customizable user interface, therefore, I would like to know how can I save a picture chosen by the user for his/her background, and so that it can be loaded the next time the program is opened. Are there many ways through which i can do it? Could somebody tell me the easiest way i could do this as i am still a beginner, i hope things could be simplified. THanx.
VB Code:
And that changes Form1's background picture to whatever bitmap you choose.
WHat about saving the picture? SO that i can reload it the next time i open that same program...
Do you want to "save the picture" or just "save the file path to the image"?
If you just want to save the file path, then you can just write a quick .ini file.
take care,

Er........ok, if i save the picture, don't i need the path?
sorry, i'm an amateur
which do u think is better, with less hassle?
at the least, the bottom line is to be able to allow the user to save his/her preferred background so it can be loaded nex time he/she starts the prog.
You should just save the path to the file.

Here is a tutorial on how to use ini files to read and write to them.
