Super easy question

Hi,

I have a picturebox and a command button titled browse. How do I make it so when i click on the cmd button, it brings up the dialogue box where i can select a file? Also, when I select a .bmp image and click ok, how do i load it into the picture box?

thanks in advacne

Add a reference to the MS Common Dialog Control, add one to the form, and use something like this:

'CD1 = CommonDialog
Private Sub cmdBrowse_Click()
  CD1.Filter = "*.bmp"
  CD1.ShowOpen
 
  Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture(CD1.FileName)
End Sub

like dis, aye

CommonDialog1.Filter = "Bitmap (*.bmp)|*.bmp"
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
 
If Len(CommonDialog1.FileName) > 0 Then
    Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture(CommonDialog1.FileName)
End If
