Loading Images[solved]

Is it possible to load an image (with LoadPicture()) into an variable?

I need to preload some images before i use them, and using an ImageList seems kinda komplex, so i'm wondering if you can load images into variables in runtime, or something like that.

Thanks in advance

Well this seems to work:

VB Code:

Dim tmpImg As IPictureDisp
 
'to put a picture in a variable
Set tmpImg = LoadPicture("c:\thisimage.jpg")
 
..
..
..
 
'then - to put the picture in an Image control
Image1.Picture = tmpImg

you could use a resource file to store the images....there should be some examples in this forum if you do a search...if not, post back and I will provide one. cheers

hmm, i have declared the variable in one of my forms (frmMain), as an Public variable (Public var as Type), but when i do this:

VB Code:

frmMain.img_btn_normal = LoadPicture(btn_normal)
    frmMain.img_btn_down = LoadPicture(btn_down)

I get runtime error 91: "Object variable or With block variable not set"

Why doesn't it work?

Forgot the SET
Solved, thanks!
