Importing JPEG graphics during run-time.

Question:
How do I import a JPEG image into an application during run-time?

Answer:
The Image and Picture Box controls in VB5 can display JPEG images. Use the LoadPicture function to load an image file at runtime:

   imgCtl.Picture = LoadPicture("myfile.jpg")

Previous versions of VB provided no built-in support for JPEG files, so if you’re using VB3 or 4, you’ll have to use a third-party image control that supports them.
