Examples

The following code example illustrates how you can set an image and resize the display area of the picture box. This example requires that ShowMyImage is called in an existing form, and that the System.Drawing namespace has been added to the source code for your form.

   Bitmap^ MyImage;

public:
   void ShowMyImage( String^ fileToDisplay, int xSize, int ySize )
   {
      
      // Sets up an image object to be displayed.
      if ( MyImage != nullptr )
      {
         delete MyImage;
      }

      
      // Stretches the image to fit the pictureBox.
      pictureBox1->SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode::StretchImage;
      MyImage = gcnew Bitmap( fileToDisplay );
      pictureBox1->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size( xSize, ySize );
      pictureBox1->Image = dynamic_cast<Image^>(MyImage);
   }

private Bitmap MyImage ;
public void ShowMyImage(String fileToDisplay, int xSize, int ySize)
{
   // Sets up an image object to be displayed.
   if (MyImage != null)
   {
      MyImage.Dispose();
   }

   // Stretches the image to fit the pictureBox.
   pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage ;
   MyImage = new Bitmap(fileToDisplay);
   pictureBox1.ClientSize = new Size(xSize, ySize);
   pictureBox1.Image = (Image) MyImage ;
}

Private MyImage As Bitmap
   
Public Sub ShowMyImage(fileToDisplay As String, xSize As Integer, _
                       ySize As Integer)
    ' Sets up an image object to be displayed.
    If (MyImage IsNot Nothing) Then
        MyImage.Dispose()
    End If
       
    ' Stretches the image to fit the pictureBox. 
    pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
    MyImage = New Bitmap(fileToDisplay)
    pictureBox1.ClientSize = New Size(xSize, ySize)
    pictureBox1.Image = CType(MyImage, Image)
End Sub

Remarks

Typically the PictureBox is used to display graphics from a bitmap, metafile, icon, JPEG, GIF, or PNG file.

Set the Image property to the Image you want to display, either at design time or at run time. You can alternatively specify the image by setting the ImageLocation property and load the image synchronously using the Load method or asynchronously using the LoadAsync method.

Note

If you want to use the same image in multiple PictureBox controls, create a clone of the image for each PictureBox. Accessing the same image from multiple controls causes an exception to occur.

The SizeMode property, which is set to values in the PictureBoxSizeMode enumeration, controls the clipping and positioning of the image in the display area. You can change the size of the display area at run time with the ClientSize property.

By default, the PictureBox control is displayed by without any borders. You can provide a standard or three-dimensional border using the BorderStyle property to distinguish the picture box from the rest of the form, even if it contains no image. The PictureBox is not a selectable control, which means that it cannot receive input focus.
