getting images from memory

[Saitan001]

i need to make a program that flashes pictures rapidly on the screen, but loading each image from file before displaying it is slow and they all take different amounts of time to load, as they are all different sizes. i was wondering if there is a way to load all the images into memory, perhaps when the program loads, so i can display them from memory at a rapid speed? someone please help me!

1. Put on the form a few invisible Image controls.

2. In the beginning of your program, load all the pictures from the files, every picture to a separate Image control.

3. When you need to display a picture, just set the appropriate property of the control you are using to show the pictures, to the Picture property of the Image control which contains the picture you need.

Good Luck!!!
