Viewing Photoshop Pictures in a form

[KingofSnake]

Is there anyway to show Photoshop (.psd) files in a form?

The easy way to do it would be to change the format to .jpg. If you are using the commondialog filter to open them you should be able to add the .psd to the commondialog code. Every day above ground is a GOOD DAY!!!

See, I have a program that displays a picture, and gives you the option to keep the picture or to delete it. I made it because my collection of pictures is getting very large, and I need to reduce it. But I have 100's of photoshop pictures. Me going into photoshop and changing the format to jpg would defeat the purpose.

You'll have to add the MS Common Dialog control to your form and the following code should work. However I've only been at this stuff for about 4 months or so.This code allows the user to select a photo. If you don't want the user to select the photo, you have to add the photo type to the control at design time. Hope it helps ya.

Private Sub mnuOpenItem_Click()
CommonDialog1.Filter = "PhotoShop (*.psd)|*.psd"
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
SourceFile = CommonDialog1.FileName
imgViewer.Picture = LoadPicture(SourceFile)
mnuCloseItem.Enabled = True
End Sub

Yeah, but LoadPicture doesn't work on psd files. That's what I'm getting at.

In your form, you could display a generic image that said something like "Other Image Format".

When you double-clicked on it, you could do a ShellExecute (see the API textviewer for the function call details), and let the windows file associations take care of launching Photoshop for you.
