[RESOLVED] could u say "whether i can use a string to represnt a picture or not?"

Hi All,
Here my doubt is regarding to a picture box in VB 6.0

assume that i have few picture boxes in my appliaction named Picture1,picture2,picture3..etc.

And in my application, i have to load the pictures dynamically. i can load like...
Picture1.picture=Load picture("path of a .bmp)
Picture2.picture=Load picture("path of a .bmp)
Picture3.picture=Load picture("path of a .bmp)

But i am not interested to load like this. i want to write a method like this..

private sub subLoadPictures(byval pictrueName as string, byval PicturePath as string)
pictureName.picture=load picture(picturepath)
end sub

I tried this one, but could not get working properly.. could u please say how to use a string that represents the name of a picture.

Thanks:

probably picturename should be picturename as picturebox, also check spelling

You can also use the Me.Controls collection, ex:

vb Code:

Private Sub SetPicture(PBName As String, FilePath As String)
    Me.Controls(PBName).Picture = LoadPicture(FilePath)
End Sub
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    SetPicture "Picture1", App.Path & "\image.bmp"
End Sub

Kind of pointless though.

Thanks DigiRev and WestConn1
