View Full Version : Assign picture to Image Control
I am running xl2K under WinXP. I wish to assign a picture file to an Image control. I can do it manually by creating the Image control (essentially a shape) and then diddling with properties to define the jpg file, picture format, etc. But when I look at the code created via the macro recorder, most of what I did is not there. Controlling the creating, location, size, etc., with VBA is pretty easy, but how do I assign the jpg file and the picture format.

You have to put an image control on sheet 1 with the toolbox and give this the name Person_Image. Then you put names starting from row 2 in column A. Each name has the same filename for your picture. And your pictures are stored under My pictures.Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'In column A we put the names of the person
If Target.Column = 1 And Target.Row > 1 Then
If Target.Value = vbNullString Then
Person_Image.Picture = LoadPicture("")
Else
'The imagecontrol on sheet1 is named Person_Image
With Person_Image
'The name of the file is the same as the name on your worksheet
'and all your pictures are stored under My pictures
.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My documents\" & _
"My pictures\" & Target.Value & ".jpg")
.Height = 100
.Width = 100
'Fit picture to the size you want
.PictureSizeMode = fmPictureSizeModeStretch
End With
End If
End If
End Sub
Thanks for your reply, but your approach is much too specific, i.e., name of ImageControl, how it is created, how it is accessed, etc. Also, no matter what I named the ImageControl, e.g., "Person_Image" or anything else, the
With Person_Image (or whatever I called it) line of code generated an immediate error. Part of the problem is that although the manual method appears to create a ImageControl (and I can fiddle with it manually), the macro recorder code generates a shape that has no "picture" attribute
So let's go back to square one; I need a method to create an ImageControl via VBA. No manual steps.
