Opening an image file in Paint from a form

I'm embarrassed to ask this. I have a form with a bound object frame
which displays an embedded bitmap stored in the table that the form is
based on. How do I, by single or double click, get the image to open
in Paint (the current Windows file association). I'm reduced to using
SendKeys and I'm sure there are more elegant ways

Hi, I have an inherited DataGrid, that does lots of extra stuff. For exemple drawing a backgroundimage in every cell. The problem is that it's taking too much time (using gdi+), so I want to do it using DirectX. I downloaded already the DSK etc, but I can't find how I need to draw an image on a given position. I don't need stuff to write advanced 3D-games, just painting that image. Can anybody help me with this? I'm already looking for...

Hi I have a table which has path names to photos I would like to view. I would like to open some/any kind of image viewer(Paint) to see the picture when I click the pathname.

I'm afraid I will incur the wraith of Mr. Powell on this one - but I did read his #1 FAQ and some others and I still can't figure this out. I created this little c# app. and I have a PictureBox in my Form. I load this image from the filesystem into the PictureBox and then I draw random little lines on the image. Then when I minimize and reopen the application the little lines are gone. Is there a way to save my lines in memory and...

In my Winforms app I'm trying to get an image's background to appear transparent on a form that has a gradient background. So I added a PictureBox and then attempted to add a custom paint command for the PictureBox. But it's not working. Here's the code I've written: public void InitializeLinearGradients() { this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(PaintClient); this.SizeChanged += new EventHandler(SizeClient); pictureLogo.Paint += new...

I've been searching around for a simple way to display a background image in my MDI form's client area. I want to be able to load the image from file on start up and have it resize as the MDI form is resized. It's the resizing part that I am having trouble with. I've seen a few old posts that point in the right direction but nothing simple. I wondered if they has been any new ideas I have missed.

Hi, I've searched a lot and couldn't find an answer to my problem. I want to have a field in my form that allow me to paste an image from the clipboard to, for example, a Paint field. Then, I want to save that image to a file on a specific folder in my computer via VB. The reason for this is that I don't want to ask the user to open paint by himself and save the file, probably in the wrong location and with the wrong name. The first...

In my not too successful attempts to get an OLE chart object (Graph 11.0) that has been manipulated on a form to be reproduced on a report, I am considering the following procedure. First copy the graph area to the clip board (easy enough using Me.OleGraphControl.ChartArea.Copy). Next open an instance of MS Paint, paste the clipboard into the file and save as something like "Picture.bmp" in the same directory as the FE Access app. A...

Hey folks, I have made an image-based shoutbox and now users can view older and newer message on the shoutbox depending on the $_GET - pagination - that works. However, since it's image based and can be linked in forums etc. on the Internet I only want it to save the gif image if $page == 1, so the newest shouts are saved onto the image. Yet the users can still view the other messages on site without it changing the saved gif image. What...
