Coding Issues

[andrew5578]

I am new at Visual Basic. Im in high school and decided to take on programming as an elective. Its turned into my hobby. I need help though. I have a picture box. I want it so that if the user clicks on the picture box, the picture changes. What is the code for that? I tried this

Private Sub PictureBox_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Box1.Click
      Me.PictureBox.Image = location of saved image on harddrive
End Sub

from memory:

Me.PictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile("Path")

one issue though, although you and most people probably dont care about it: if you load the image that way, the image file will be locked until your program unloads, or until you dispose the image. The only simple way that I know to get around this is the get a copy of the loaded image and dispose the one that you loaded from file so the file would get unlocked:

Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click
        Dim imgSrc As Image = Image.FromFile("C:\txtr.bmp")
        PictureBox1.Image = New Bitmap(imgSrc)
        imgSrc.Dispose()
    End Sub
