TitleStretch a PictureBox image to fit the control
DescriptionThis example shows how to stretch a PictureBox image to fit the control in Visual Basic 6.
Keywordsstretch, image, resize
CategoriesGraphics, Controls
 
Thanks to Gamal Ahmed.

The picStretch subroutine copies a PictureBox's image onto itself, scaling it to fit the control. Note that the scale factor is specific to this example. (This actually isn't a terribly general technique but the animation used by the program is pretty cool.)

 
Sub picStrech()
    'Picture1.Picture = Image1(1).Picture
    Picture1.ScaleMode = 3
    Picture1.AutoRedraw = True
    Picture1.PaintPicture Picture1.Picture, _
        0, 0, Picture1.ScaleWidth, Picture1.ScaleHeight, _
        0, 0, _
        Picture1.Picture.Width / 26.46, _
        Picture1.Picture.Height / 26.46
    Picture1.Picture = Picture1.Image
End Sub
