IMAGECtl

DLL Name

Msceimage.dll

The Image control supports the following properties:

• Picture
• Stretch

The Image control supports the following methods:

• Refresh
• ZOrder
• Move

Remarks

The Image control uses fewer system resources and repaints faster than a PictureBox control, but it supports only a subset of the PictureBox control's properties, events, and methods. However, both controls support bitmap picture formats.

You can use the Stretch property to stretch pictures in an Image control to fit the control's size. You cannot do this with the PictureBox control. To set stretch an image, set the Stretch property to True. Stretching a bitmap picture can produce a loss in image quality.
