I am a beginner of visual basic I am learning this language in school and need to learn how to stretch the image in a picture box sorta like maximizing an image. I have found controls that stretch the picture box itself, this is a handy tool but it dosent help with that I need.

Question
How do I stretch image in picture box?

thank you ahead of time.

If you just need an image to be stretched according to the size of the picturebox control, I think the imagebox control would be the better choice as it has a built-in stretch property. You'd probably have to do something pretty funky to get the picturebox stretching out.

Anyway, I'd use the imagebox instead.

Okay well, I just looked it up since I didn't know myself, but apparently this is a method to do this.

First have two picture boxes, one is hidden and the other is visible. Now you'll use the paintpicture method to paint onto the visible picture box using the hidden picture box as the source. Doing this allows you to specify to stretch the image out according to the size of the visible picture box.

This is the code I tested just now to get this effect:
CODE

Picture1.PaintPicture Picture2.Picture, 0, 0, Picture1.ScaleWidth, Picture1.ScaleHeight, 0, 0, Picture2.ScaleWidth, Picture2.ScaleHeight, vbSrcCopy

Thank you for this code it dose what I need but I cant use it for how I bitblt my character on top of the picture.


10 mins later....

I wonder if I could copy my character to another invisible picture box that gets bigger which would stretch the character and then copy that and paste it onto the picture.


after school...

I think i failed at explaning myself again

I need a code that maked my game go full screen...

sorry for the comotion
