Image List

[wazofski]

How do I add Images to a listbox? So if you press the name in the listbox of the picture it will be shown in a picturebox
I use vb 2008

Aha. Use an ImageList. Add one to the project, then add the images using the Properties panel. Then, you can use code such as ImageList1.Images(0) to set to the picturebox's Image property.

I got the imagelist, and could you tell more specific how to add the images to the list?

[Xav]

First, change the ImageSize or something named like that, to stop it resizing images. Then, click on the Images property, click the small button labelled "...", and add images from the window that appears.

[wazofski]

ok and how do I add the image to the picturebox?

[Xav]

Well, like this:

Dim index As Integer = 2
PictureBox1.Image = ImageList1.Images(index) 

This code sets the third image in the list to the picturebox (because arrays are zero-based).

thx, one more problem the imagelist resizes the images how do i turn it off?

[Xav]

Yeah, I get that sometimes. Did you set the ImageSize property first on the ImageList?

[wazofski]

The image size was automaticly set on 32;32 (image list)

[Xav]

That's what happens to me! What about the property of the ImageList? Did you try changing that, then adding the images?
