I want to use VB to get a picture size(height and width)?

Assuming you have access to the bitmap handle...

Type Size
        cx As Long
        cy As Long
End Type
 
Declare Function GetBitmapDimensionEx Lib "gdi32" Alias "GetBitmapDimensionEx" (ByVal hBitmap As Long, lpDimension As SIZE) As Long

Thanks!!!!
but if my picture is .jpg or .gif,can I use it in this format?

Once a gif or jpg is selected into a device context (i.e. displayed on the screen) it is converted to a bitmap by GDI and you can use the aforementioned API call againts it's handle.
If you want to get the dimensions from the file without displaying it you will need to interogate the file format....I'm afraid I do no t know the format for jpg or gif images, but it'll be documented on the net somewhere.
