VB programing Questions

[Davebold370]

Hi, i have a question about the VB 6.0 program. I have a image that i want to be able to change by clicking on my opening a file from my documents and placing it into the image. I'm not using a picturebox because it doesn't sterch the image like the plain image does. How would i go about by doing this?

I believe there's a LoadPicture(String file) sub (or LoadImage(String file), or something like that) inside the picture box object. I haven't used VB since I learnt a real language.

Sorry asking such dumb questions, I'm teaching myself and well, it's hard with what little resourses i have. Thanks for your help though.

It's OK. But seriously, I suggest you start with a real programming language first. VB is good for just about nothing - except maybe prototyping applications.
I'm sure some professional VB programmer is going to disagree with me here. I'm sorry, but any language
1) for which you need to use a proprietary program just to view the source;
2) which only runs on one operating system;
3) which doesn't even run on a lot of versions of that OS;
4) which needs several different libraries, which must be downloaded manually
is never going anywhere in my books.

P.S. Actually, I lied. There is one other situation in which VB could be useful: when one is deploying applications across an organization in which you have control over the environments of every single machine that needs to run the program.
