constantly refresh picturebox

[dgburton]

Hi!

I have a pictureBox control pointing at a jpg on a server, this jpg file constantly changes (keeps the same file name etc but the image change).

Could anyone tell me how to get the PictureBox to constantly refresh (the picturebox must continue to refresh regardless of what else is going on with the program) it's image property so in the net result would be video-like with the PictureBox updating every second or so.

thx v.much

Put the Refresh in a Timer.

Could anyone give the me the code to display the image in pictureBox. Also can the picturebox control only display local images or can I set it to display images on other machines.

PictureBox1.Picture = LoadPicture ("C:\test.jpg")

Yes, I think you can use it to display remote pics.
