loading a picture...but not from a file...HELP!

[JamieFuller]

I have written a really cool encryption algorythm that protects my private pictures (jpg format). when my decrypter runs it loads the encrypted file into memory, processes it in memory (a string the length of the file). i need to put this string of memory into a picture box (as a picture) WITHOUT saving it as a file then loading that file back in with the loadpicture function and without writing each pixel to the screen 'cos thats just way too slow.

Would this be possible with the CopyMemory API?. could i copy the memory from the string location into the memory of the bitmap HDC or something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kindest Regards
Jamie
