resize picturebox picture
i am using vb5, and i made a quick browsing and text editing tool. i expanded it to graphics, but the go off the form. how do resize the graphic, to stay proportionate, but to fit in the space allocated for them?
ASKER
thanx anyway, but i already did that, and it distorts the pictures so bad it isn't even funny. i need to just be able to adjust one length (the longer one) and then that lenght will be entirely inside the available area, and so the shorter side must be 2. i need to keep it proportional.

erick37, i don't know if it works or not because w/ the option explicit in the general declerations, it now has a problem w/ nearly every other variable in my program. since i am dealing with file paths a lot, there are quite a few variables. how would i adjust your code or mine so taht they would work together? i can send you my program, but if you changed anything, i would appreciate a commented explanation of why you canged each thing. in a test project i did, your code worked beautifully. now we just need to merge the code.

sorry bout that, i just took a closer look at your code, and realized(feeling pretty stupid afterwards) that all i had to do was to remove teh option explicit and replace (C:\test2.bmp) with the variable for the file user has selected. so now it works great! thanx a lot!
