Hi Vlad,

When I am in design mode and add pictures of different sizes my image control adjusts properly. When in Run mode my image control doesn't seem to want to resize. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul

Assign image path to image control, after this image control will resize self to the size of image. Use DOEVENTS command to assure image resized. Than use the size of image control to resize main form. All this do at the "Activate" event of form.
