What this Control does

This control provides a simple, fast and efficient way to browse local or web graphics. The control is able to show gif, jpg, ico, rle and bmp Pictures and wmf Metafiles. You are able to deactivate or enable the possibility to browse local and web files individually. For browsing graphic files on the web you simply call the AddWebPic method for every picture you want to make accessible by the user. The local browser has got a drive and path selection box to look for the picture files. The main advantage for Quick Picture Viewer is, that you don't always have to go through a file/open- dialogbox-selection procedure, but see instantly the file you clicked on.
