Loading a picture into a report, keeping its dimensions

[SkiNLaB]

Hi guys..

I'd like to load a picture (of varying dimensions) into my report, i can load a picture like so...
Set Picture1.FormattedPicture = LoadPicture(App.path & "\seatMap.bmp")

but the picturebox that is in the report keeps its dimensions, which forces the picture to the picturebox's dimensoins, making it bigger, longer, smaller etc.

any ideas?

thanks. are there properties of a .bmp file that i can read, and then i can use those to set the pciturebox height/width properties, and THEN load the picture? (that way the box and the pic will have matching dims.

thanks

First load the picture into a StdPicture object. It has height, width properties that you can use to adjust the Picture1 properties. The set the Picture1.Picture equal to the StdPicture.

Note that the StdPicture properties are in HiMetric units so you will need to convert them to Twips or Pixels or whatever scalemode you are using.
