Moving a picture inside a picturebox

[Chris]

Hi,

I am trying to set the position of a picture inside a picturebox with the
folowing code:

pctOutput.Pictu re = LoadPicture(App .Path & "\picture.b mp", [Size],
[ColorDepth], [X], [Y])

I didn't know what to fill in at [Size] and [ColorDepth] so the result was:

pctOutput.Pictu re = LoadPicture(App .Path & "\picture.b mp", (315) - (315),
1, x2, y2)
'(x2 and y2 are declared variables)

My problem is that the picture hasn't moved at all, it's still in the upper
left corner :(
Does anyone here know how to set the position of a picture inside a
picturebox?

Thanks for your help.

Chris

Is that VB.NET ?

If so you would be better of in a dotnet NG

You could always put an Image control **IN** (not merely on top of) the
PictureBox, load your picture into the Image control and place the picture
wherever you want via the Image control's Top and Left properties.

Ah, sorry, it is a VB6 enhancement

Size should be: vbLPCustom

ColorDepth try : vbLPDefault

Here is the link - watch for wrapping:

The x and y arguments specify width & height, not top & left; top &
left are always 0,0

that or load it into an image or picturebox (or form or anything that
accepts an image) and the use the PaintPicture method to re-draw it
where it should be
