Compiled VB Forms

[rpathy1974]

I'm creating a VB appln, where i have FORMS with (*.wmf) pictures loaded onto it. I have around 20 Forms like this now and this is expected to become even more. So when i compile my appln, the size of the EXE file is already 2mb.

I know that i can have the picture files stored separately and load them onto the Forms dynamically during the run-time. But I didn't want to do that for some reasons. So i wanted to know is there a way for having a compiled version of the FORMS (with the picture) and use them in my VB appln during run-time.

if you have the pictures loaded into a imagelist or a picture property of some object (to include a form) then you can share that picture via that imagelist or picture property.

ie Form1 has a picture loaded into its picture property you can do this in form2

Set me.picture = form1.picture
