I have a question about some code for Visual Basic. I'm playing around with it and can't remember how to have a picture box start empty and then assign a picture via code during execution. Thanks for any help you can give.

You didn't specify which version, but maybe this faq page will be of use. From what I recall of VB6, at least, simply place the control on the form, and then under some event to clear a picturebox control set picture1.picture = nothing to load from a file picture1.picture = loadpicture(path) to save it savepicture picture1.picture, path to copy from an image set picture2.picture = picture1.image Hope that helps.

I'm using Visual Basic 2005 (I got it free from my college). From what I understand it's not too different from the latest version. Should help. At least I'll have the structure right, can play with the keywords if need be. Thanks!
