Picture of a picture frame!

[Simon]

I'm trying to build an application which will allow users to view
photographs in a variety of picture frames. I can load and display the
photos, but I'm not sure where to begin when it comes to building and
displaying the frames around the photos.

I have photos of each of the frames I want to offer but am not sure how to
use these images as the basis for creating the frame.

Any pointers would be much apprecaited!

Thanks

ps VB6 by the way!

Sounds like a nice idea, Simon.

And yes it should be fairly easy to do.

Start with a PictureBox on your Form - this will be for the Picture Frame
Add a second (smaller) PictureBox inside the first PictureBox - this is for
the Photograph

If all the Frames are the same size then there is not much to it, just
programmatically through a menu system add/change frames and pictures.

If the frames and pictures are of assorted sizes then you will/maybe need to
add code to adjust the PictureBox sizes to suit your requirements.

That should get you started.
