[RESOLVED] Need help with Openning JPG

I have on "open" dialog like this:

VB Code:

On Error GoTo ErrHandler
   CommonDialog1.Filter = "JPG (*.jpg)|*.jpg"
   CommonDialog1.FilterIndex = 2
   CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
   Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
   Exit Sub

I am trying to have the the file selected show up in Image1.... Please help. Thanks in advance

to load it in the picturebox you need to use the LoadPicture function, like

Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\somefile.jpg")

The commondialog only gets the filename for you, to do anything with the file you need to add extra code.

Luckily there is a simple piece of code to load a picture (called LoadPicture), which can be used like this:

VB Code:

Set Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(CommonDialog1.FileName)

This line of code should be placed just after your ".ShowOpen" line.

Thanks Si
