Want to update image in imagebox at click of a button

[drrep]

Hi everyone,

I want to have a button that will, when pressed, ask for a filename of an image (bmp file) and then update the image box that I have on my form thereafter.

I know I can use an inputbox to get the filename but how do I update the imagebox after that with the new filename?

Try using a common dialog control to allow the user to browse to the imamge file. Thanks and Good Luck!

Thanks but how does it link the chosen file name to the image box so it can be updated with the chosen image?

 

[zemp]

To update an image box control just assign the name of the file to the image boxes .picture property.

Image1.Picture = CommonDialog1.Filename Thanks and Good Luck!

Sorry zemp,

you need to use

Image1.Picture = loadpicture(CommonDialog1.Filename)

One more thing zemp and drrep, you need to catch the cancel error while using the commondialog.

if commondialog1.filename<>&quot;&quot; then

Image1.Picture = loadpicture(CommonDialog1.Filename)

end if

this is to catch the error when the user cancels the dialog
