Oh Sorry Boris :-(((
It requires the GdiPlusX library to work.
Please download it directly from this link:
https://www.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=VFPX&ReleaseId=6435In the "Files" topic you'll find the link with the file "GDIPlusXFull_20070911.zip".
"System.prg" is the main file of the library, used to initialize GDI+
Sorry again for the inconvenience, I'll update the original post too.

>>I've been working on the improvement of the image control, basically in order to fix the PictureVal bugs, and to add some cool and new functions.

>>I'm based in Craig Boyd's article published in FoxTalk some years ago.
>>It contains a VCX that is only a place holder, and contains the methods and properties that i need.
>>In the SCX, you'll find all the codes responsible for the image rendering.
>>
>>Please run the file TESTIMAGEX2.scx, to understand what I made so far.
>>
>>There are really few people that have tried this before, and I trust very much in your opinions regarding this.
>>
>>The main issue problem is the flickering when the form is resized.
>>
>>For this class, I didn't use the API BeginPaint. All I did was to call "Thisform.Draw" to make VFP redraw its controls.
>>
>>During resize, to avoid the flickering, I thought of UNBINDING the WM_PAINT Windows event, and then call BeginPaint and then Thisform.Draw(), and after this is finished, Bind the WM_PAINT event again...
>>
>>But in my first insight this did not work.
>>
>>Do you have any suggestions regarding this ?
>>
>>This version uses a VFP Container as placeHolder.
>>For the future, I want to use the original Image Object. If the Picture property is not empty, then it will behave as it should by default.
>>Then, BINDEVENT the PictureVal property, and for the case it receives a value, then my control would manage the images.
>>

>>Thanks in advance for any suggestions or feedback !
