Hi,

I have a picturebox on my form. By using the common dialog the user can select an image which i then show in my picturebox.

Now i want to know how i can automatically resize the selected image to fit the picturebox and not the other way around.(not the picturebox to fit the size of the image)

Has anyone already done something like this?

plz help.
thnx
 
Maybe thread222-58793 will help (which hints on using an Image Control...)

Otherwise, you'll have to rescale the picture manually using the PictureBox1.Picture.ScaleHeight & .ScaleWidth properties.

I found that after rescaling the picture to fit the contril, it is necessary to resize the control to match the picture, otherwise some blurred information stays on the form...
