Is there a way to have VB resize a bmp? I only need like 32 x 32 pixels of the larger picture. Thanks for any ideas.

You can resize the image with VB, you need a graphics editor for that. What you can do is put the image inside an Image box. Set the Stretch property to true and then adjust the size of the Image box to what you require - up or down. Stuart

Okay, thanks, that almost works, it does resize the Image to 32 x 32 in VB, but when I use SavePicture to save it to Desktop, it still saves it the original large size. Do you know of anything else I could do? Thanx again

Hi Jessica, Here is a small porgamm I wrote quick based on ur Query. Hope thats what u wanted! What u need to do is : 1. Add two PictureBoxes. 2. Set for both to ScaleMode=vbPixel Private Sub cmdResize_Click() Dim PicSize As Integer PicSize = Val(InputBox("Enter ReSize Dimension for the Picture :", , 32)) If PicSize > 0 Then Picture2.Move Picture2.Left, Picture2.Top, PicSize, PicSize Picture2.PaintPicture Picture1.Image, 0, 0, PicSize, PicSize End If End Sub Private Sub cmdSave_Click() SavePicture Picture2.Image, "C:\Sam.bmp" End Sub Write back for more help Samuel Roshan

Many thanks, I'll try that tonight. This is what I have now that isn't working, the new bmp is being saved the original size no matter where I try to change it! Private Sub GetNewTile() 'get the new tile made from clipboard ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' On Error Resume Next Dim NewVar As String NewVar = Text3.Text If TypeOf Screen.ActiveControl Is PictureBox Then If Clipboard.GetFormat(vbCFBitmap) Then 'fill picturebox from clipboard Picture1.Width = 32 Picture1.Height = 32 Picture1 = Clipboard.GetData() Picture1.Width = 32 Picture1.Height = 32 ' Save picture to desktop If Which = 1 Then 'Win 95/98 SavePicture Picture1, "C:\Windows\Desktop\NewTile.bmp" End If If Which = 2 Then 'XP SavePicture Picture1, NewVar End If End If End If End Sub Thanks again, I really appreciate it!

Yeah, Changing The PictureBox's Dimension will not change the actual image that has been loaded into it. (i.e. It will not stretch the image) No matter what Width and Height u change to, while using SavePicture function the Dimension of the picture loaded into the Picture box is used.(What a weird explanation!) So what u have to do is change the size of the Picture loaded not the Picturebox. Samuel Roshan

Thanks for your help :) I have no idea how to do that, I guess I'll just Shell out to Paint and see if I can get to my bmp attributes with sendkeys somehow. Thanks again.
