Valter you are in luck.

I am the author of that control. I created it when VFP5 was in use and could only load BMP files.

1. Copy the OCX to your windows/system directory.
2. Register it with Regsvr32
3. create a form in VFP and add this ole object. It appears in the list as Multipix.MultifmtPix
4. Right Click and set the picture property.

Unfortunately the picture CANNOT be changed at runtime. This is by design as all I needed at that time was to show a JPG/Gif on a form. I could do another for you if I know what properties you need and how it is to be used.

Cheers
