[RESOLVED] If ... Show image/picture

[chapperzUK]

I want to show a certain picture if it meets the critiera required. I would be using either an IF function or a CASE function but I don't know the code to show the image. The image will come from a file. Thanks

What do you want to show the image in? You can use a picture box on your form, or paint the image onto a form, or show a new form with nothing but the image on it, or I'm sure there are other ways as well.

Depending on which one you want to do, the method of achieving it will be different.

I would like to use a Picture box.

[keystone_paul]

PictureBox1.Load(myFilename)

will work where myFilename is the filename (including path) of the image, and PictureBox1 is the name of your picturebox.

PictureBox1.Load(myFilename)

will work where myFilename is the filename (including path) of the image, and PictureBox1 is the name of your picturebox.

ok. thanks

Another question, Can I make an image be a button. When it is pressed it runs a line of code or is something else required? Thanks

The PictureBox's MouseDown, MouseUp, MouseClick, or MouseDoubleClick events can do that, depending on what you want.

MouseClick event would be what I would like to use if someone could give me some advice on using it I would be very appreciated.
