An enhanced PictureBox control can display a graphic from a bitmap, icon, or metafile, as well as enhanced metafile, JPEG, and animated or static Gif file.

Additionally, it provides information about the graphic file and supports many unique features:
 |
Advanced sizing abilities
You can customize the relationship between the control's size, and its contents dimensions:
- Normal
The contents of the control does not affect the controls size.
- Auto
The control is automatically resized to the contents dimensions.
- Stretch
The control resizes (stretch/zoom) the graphic to fit the control's dimensions.

 |
Image file info
Provides information about the image file such as filename, image's width and height and size of the image file.
|
 |
Drop target
The control can be set to accept graphic files as a result of a drag and drop operation. Just drop the dragged file into the control and PictureBoxEx will process it and display the graphic or any animation.
|
 |
Display animations
Allows you to control whether PictureBoxEx will play animations or if only the first frame will be rendered.
|
 |
Customised background color
You can set the backround to any color. The control will draw the graphic or the animation over this colored background, while keeping any transparency.
|
 |
Control system errors
Allows control of whether PictureBoxEx will automatically display error mesages, as a result of invalid graphic files detection. The level of the control is also adjustable.
