 |
|
Hello,
I am not sure if i am posting in the correct category, but i hope somebody can help me.
In my program, i want an image to be loaded into an ImageBox depending on what the user picks from a ComboBox. At the moment, i have specified the path where the images are located. However, when different users isntall the system onto their own computers, these image files will be located in a different place.
How do i not specify a definite path and retrieve the image from wherever the user has installed the system?
If you do not understand what i mean or need more details about my situation, just let me know.
I would be grateful for any help. Cheers! |

I don't fully understand but I think I have an idea... If the directory is completely random there isn't anything you can do... But if the images are in the same folder as the executable of your app or in a subfolder you can use :
to find the path of the exe... Maybe after that yuo can specify the folder of the images as :
| Code: | Dim ImagesPath As String
ImagesPath = App.Path & "\Images\" |
?

Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(SelectedFile)
SelectedFile == Path
That's it ....
