Hi there,

Can someone direct me to someplace or someone that has an ActiveX
control to view images (gifs, bmps, jpegs, etc). I'm using PictureBox
now but I need something with extended features such as (VERY IMPORTANT)
scrollbars (if the image is bigger than the control). I would prefer a
control that has basically the same functionality (methods and
properties) than the PictureBox, but if that's not possible, I can
settle for other controls. I also prefer Shareware or Freeware but I am
also prepared to buy controls from Third Party vendors.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Cheers from Portugal,

Jo?o Maia

Just add the Scrollbars to the Picturebox your selft... just use
setwindowlong and add Ws_Vscroll or Ws_Hscroll and there you have it...
yes... and a little subclassing is required... not very much though

Joao,
   If you would prefer to avoid subclassing, then check out article
Q140878 ("How to Create a Scrollable Viewport") in the Knowledge Base.
It's very simple.

Hi,
Try the ImagN' Active X.  More speed and features. There is info and a
trial version here:  http://www.pegasustools.com/

You need to use GetWindowLong to get the WS_STYLE for the picturebox
Then you need to OR that value with WS_VSCROLL or WS_HSCROLL or both
depending on what you want.
Then use SendWindowLong and the scrollbars will appear.

The scrollbars aren't functional though,  that I am working on right now...

And just what is the picturebox scrolling?  Considering you are assigning
the image to the device context of the picturebox, which is limited to the
size of that control, I can't see how adding a scrollbar through API will
provide any functionality.... you can't scroll the device context.

If you add a picturebox *insider* the base pixbox, size it larger than the
base pixbox, then add scrollbars to reposition the inner pixbox within the
base pixbox, that's a different story.  This technique is explained in the
MSKB article on creating a scrollable viewport.
