Placing a Bitmap Picture on the Picture Box

To place the cog train picture into the picture box, follow these steps:

1. Highlight the PictureBox control to bring its properties into the Properties window.

2. Scroll down to the Image entry in the left column and click on the Browse button (the button on the right with three dots) to open the Select Resource window.

3. Click on the Import button to display the Open window. Change the display to Visual Studio 2005\Projects\DemosSourceCode\Picture Box\bin\debug. This is where the CogTrain2.PNG graphic should be located.

4. Highlight the CogTrain2.PNG file and click on the Open button to bring this graphic into the Select Resource window. The graphic also appears in the pictureBox1 control on the main window.

This completes the Picture Box project.
