The following example uses the PictureSizeMode property to demonstrate three display options for a picture: showing the picture as is, changing the size of the picture while maintaining its original proportions, and stretching the picture to fill a space.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Declarations portion of a form. Make sure that the form contains:

Note
This example is an enhanced version of the PictureAlignment property example, as the two properties complement each other. The enhancements are three OptionButton event subroutines that control whether the image is cropped, zoomed, or stretched.
