Nope, the picture control does not solve the problem. I looked at it and the image control first of all. You can retrieve the image property (picture property) from them but I need to set it. And the only way you can set the graphic for those controls is to provide a path to a file. I have a gif file which I have converted into a handle to a dib, now I need to display that dib.<br />

Thanks VBDesigns. That was the trick.<br />

I need to display a device independent bitmap. I have a function that reads a gif or jpg and returns a valid handle to a dib - but how do I then display it in a form? I can't find a vb call or component that takes an hDIB. I don't want to use BitBlt if I don't have to. And besides, all I have is a handle to the dib, not a device context. BitBlt requires a source device context. I guess I could use the API call and create one then stick the hDib into the device context but that's heading me back to BitBlt which I'd rather avoid.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
