code for opening and attaching an image file

code for opening and attaching an image file

• SK1000

  Very simple - use the load method on the picturebox and supply it with the filename you wish to display.

  PictureBox1.Load("d:\blue.bmp")

  thnx 4 the help guys! fortunately i figured out the simplest code:

  Private Sub buttton1_Click()
  dialog1.ShowOpen
  If dialogresult = ok Then
  Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(dialog1.FileName)
  End If
  End Sub

  OK the complete code for a dialog with filters and title which will display the graphic image in a picture box if the OK button is pressed is

  Public Class Form1

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

  Dim x As New OpenFileDialog
  x.Title = "Select a Graphic File"
  x.Filter = "Graphic Files(*.bmp;*.jpg;*.bmp;*.gif)|*.bmp;*.jpg;*.bmp;*.gif|All Files|*.*"
  x.Multiselect = False

  If x.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
  Me.PictureBox1.Load(x.FileName)
  End If

  End Sub
  End Class

  The only thing I'd add to the Squires code would be apropriate filter strings:

  For Executable files a Filter string would look like this:

  OPNFD.Filter = "Executable files (*.exe;*.cpl;*.bat)|*.exe;*.cpl;*.bat"

  Without a filter string, exceptions are quite possible by selecting inappropriate file types.

  There is a built-in dialog called OpenFileDialog that will probably do what you want. Put something like this in your button handler:

  Dim dlg as new OpenFileDialog

  If dlg.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then

  PictureBox.Load(dlg.Filename)

  End If

  thanks for the help spotty but i need a code how to open image from my directory. just like, for example, I can open an image in Microsoft Paint by clicking the "open" button then a dialogue box appears and I can choose which image I wanted to open.

  *for more details:

  On my form, I added one "command button" that i named "addpicture", and I also added one "PictureBox".

  If I click the command button, it should open a dialogue box that shows images on a particular path then if i selected an image it should be shown on the "PictureBox."
