A Quick question just about everyone should know but I don't.

[Electroman]

Is it possible to use the common dialog control to change the image in a Picturebox(YES, I said picture box not Image box cause I know how to do it on a image box).

I will be greatfull for any help you provide.


Another thing is it possible to get the size of a file that is on the internet???

i.e. I tried to use this: ( but it SEEMS to only work on a local file)

    FileSystem.FileLen(Path As String) As Long

can anyone help ?????

'here is how to load a picturebox via commondialog

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()

On Error GoTo errHandle:
   CommonDialog1.InitDir = "C:\"         'set dir path
    CommonDialog1.CancelError = True               'used in cancel code
    CommonDialog1.Filter = "JPG(*.jpg)|*.jpg*"    'filter for jpg
    CommonDialog1.ShowOpen                         'show files
