Loading An Image File to Mem-Variable

[RichardsonR]

I'm looking to load a large image into memory, then access it with a func. This will use .paintpicutre to isolate the section I want, and return it.
My problem: I can't find a declaration which will work with the 'LoadPicture' function. Unless I use a picbox control, It won't work.

---! Is there any declaration-type that will hold pictures in memory?!?

Thanks for your help...
