Examples

The following code example adds a PictureBox control to the top of the worksheet, and then adds an image. The example assumes a file named Image.jpg exists at the root of the C directory.

Private Sub ExcelAddPictureBox()

    Dim PictureBox1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools. _
        Excel.Controls.PictureBox = Me.Controls. _
        AddPictureBox(0, 0, 150, 150, "PictureBox1")

    PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image. _
        FromFile("C:\Image.jpg")

End Sub

private void ExcelAddPictureBox()
{

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Controls.PictureBox
         pictureBox1 = this.Controls.AddPictureBox(
         0, 0, 150, 150, "pictureBox1");
    pictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(
        "C:\\Image.jpg");
}
