Display a bitmap that only exists in memory

[Julio]

Hi,<br><br>I have a byte array b() which contains a bitmap image. I can save it to disk as a file with a .bmp extension, and paint will open it no problem. I can also put it in a database and retrieve just fine. <br><br>But, what I'd like to do is disply it in a picture or image control *without* doing any of that. Just display it with somthing like 'set picture1.picture = b()', which of course doesn't work. Does anybody know of a way to do this?<br><br>Thanks all,<br><br><br>Julio<br>

Julio,<br><br>From the VB6 help<br><br>&quot;At design time, you can transfer a graphic with the Clipboard using the Copy, Cut, and Paste commands on the Edit menu. At run time, you can use Clipboard methods such as GetData, SetData, and GetFormat with the nontext Clipboardconstants vbCFBitmap, vbCFMetafile, and vbCFDIB, which are listed in the Visual Basic (VB)object library in theObject Browser.&quot;<br><br> <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=

Mike,<br><br>Thanks, I saw that already, but the thing is, my bitmap data is in a byte array (so, in memory) but not in the clipboard. <br><br>But wait, maybe I can put my byte array in the clipboard, and from there in the picture control. I'm gonna try that, I'll keep you posted. <br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Julio<br><br><br><br>
