Resizing graphic files in Image or Picture Boxes

[robertko2]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here, and was hoping someone could lead me on the right track to quality resizing of drawing files like .bmp .jpg etc in VB6 Image or Picture boxes. I'm writing a design program and need my width, height and depth variables to influence the size of the graphic files. I need to make them true to scale. Thank you in advance for any help offered.

Try using the image control .with this control you can stretch the image.

Also, you may want to investigate the PaintPicture method.

Thank you for your input. I've been using image controls, but since the image width can vary substancially the stretching and squishing doesn't look very good. I was hoping to find a way to maintain the drawings original quality.

Depends on what you mean by "quality". If you just want to maintain the aspect ratio, simply adjust the height/width so that they maintain the same proportions.

For instance, if your original image is 300x150, and you shrink it to half the height (75), then the width should also be halved (150).
