how do I open (display) a graphic file (.jpg)


Recommended Posts

What command do I use to open a graphic file like mypicture.jpg???

I just want to display it for a short while then close it....

I did a search on this and was unable to find help... Thanks!

So, you just want to open it:

ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir&"\My Pictures\testa.JPG")

Or, do you want to embed it? Ie, create a UI, with the picture as the background, and then close it?

Which do you need to do?

Why not make a splash screen with the picture?! :)

See, I'm not really a fan of splash screens for this type of useage; but in reality, using a simple GUI, one can do that too:

$img = @ScriptDir & "\FILE.jpg"
$splashGUI = GUICreate("", 500, 375, Default, Default, $WS_POPUPWINDOW)
$splashPIC = GUICtrlCreatePic($img, 0, 0, 500, 375)
GUICtrlSetState($splashPIC, $GUI_DISABLE)

Secondly, you can use GUICTRLSETIMAGE() to constantly update the image too.

It all really depends on what the OP wants to do tho.

Perfect - that is exactly what I wanted... Thanks! It is part of a routine to test the battery duration for an updated and larger battery on my notebook..
