Hi Selva

Here you can find a little VI which loads a Bitmap file into a picture control:

The link page is invalid. Get me the corrected link.

Ok, here is the VI.

Thanks and it helped me a lot.
Is it possible to open a JPEG file ? If you have any sample VI. Kindly post it.

Just replace Read BMP by Read JPG vi.
VI's founds in Graphics&Sound\Graphic Formats pallete.

Very simple.
1) Put picture indicator on the FP.
2) Use "Read BMP" vi.
3) Use draw flattened pixmap vi.
4) Connect all outputs of "Read BMP" to all inputs "Draw flattened pixmap".
5) Connect output new picture of "Draw ..." to picture indicator.

Attached example of this procedure.
