autosizing picture in picturebox

[DjPal]

Hi,
I have a picturebox in C#, visual studio 2008. when a picture is sent into the picturebox, the image is does not resize to the size of the picturebox. I tried the "behaviour options" in visual studios properties but alas no luck.
Is there a way around this?

Thank you.

Take a look at the PictureBox in the MSDN

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.picturebox_properties(VS.71).aspx

It has a property called "SizeMode"

I think this can solve your problem (solved mine)

displayed_image.Image = original_image.GetThumbnailImage(172, 163, new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback), IntPtr.Zero);
        public bool ThumbnailCallback()
        {
            return true;
        }

Thumbnail the image and resize it.

TIP: When you are writing your question, there is a button on the tool bar that wraps the [code] tags around your copy/pasted code. It helps a bunch. Its the button with a '#' on it. More on tags. They're cool. Check'em out.


Instead of hard coding sizes of 172 x 163 why not make it more dynamic and responsive. Not to mention a bit more re-usable.

If you are going to resize the image to fit the picturebox, then do that.

Image New image = original_image.GetThumbnailImage([HIGHLIGHT]myPictureBox.Width, myPictureBox.Height[/HIGHLIGHT], new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback), IntPtr.Zero)

Now it works regardless of picturebox size. If you put this in the SizeChanged event handler it will even update as you resize the form.
