C# Listbox and PictureBox problem

weerez

Im reading in links to images(images stored on my hard drive) to a list box using open file dialog. When I click the links to the images in the list box I want the image linked to appear in a picture box. Any ideas/suggestions?

Below is the code Ive wrote so far:

openImage = new OpenFileDialog();
openImage.Filter = "Jpeg (*.Jpeg | *.jpg";

openImage.Multiselect = true;

if(openImage.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
lstOutput.Items.Add(openImage); //lstOutput is the list box)


Navigate.Add(Image.FromFile(openImage.FileName)); //Navigate is an Arraylist

}

Way ahead of you!



I've it in a different way.. i've all my photos linked to in a database (containing columns for photo_id, location, category etc) and the photo_id (primary key in the DB) is shown in the listBox.. then when you click the photo_id, the location is looked up in the database. The image at that location is then loaded into the ListBox.

This should help you out somewhat... this will produce a FileOpen Box with every sort of image that can be loaded, i think! And after you click OK, will put that image into a picture box (named picSelectedPhoto). Regarding the ArrayList, can't really help you with that as i'm using the database:

OpenFileDialog openImage = new OpenFileDialog();

openImage.Filter = "All Image Files | *.bmp; *.gif; *.jpeg; *.jpg; *.png; *.jfif; *.tif; *.tiff; *.wmf; *.emf |" + "Windows Bitmap (*.bmp) | *.bmp|" + "Windows Icon (*.ico) | *.ico|" + "Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif) | *.gif|" + "JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg) | *.jpeg; *.jpg; *.jpeg, *.jfif|" + "Portable Network Graphics (*.png) | *.png|" + "Tag Image File Format (*.tif) | *.tif; *.tiff|" + "Windows Metafile (*.wmf) | *.wmf|" + "Enhanced Metafile (*.emf) | *.emf|" + "All Files (*.*) | *.*";

if(openImage.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
try
{
MyImage = Image.FromFile(openImage.FileName);
picSelectedPhoto.Image = (Image) MyImage;
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Not An Image File", "Not Image");;
}
}

Haven't went near my game since being off on holidays.

Thanks for the help Basquille but the problem I have is with the list box part. I have the same code as you but I need help on the part when you click on one of the items in the listbox and the image appears in the picture box. I appreciate the help though, cheers.
