>>In a form i put an image control.
>>If I doubleclick on this.control the program launch the MsPaint Application to edit the picture. What happens (and I don't like it at all) is that when I modify the picture, the only way to see it modified in my form is to close the VFP environment and to run it again. I suppose VFP stores the picture in a cache memory, what can I do ?
