cut/copy/paste image into access form during runtime?

hi i am trying to add a feature to an access form that lets a user copy an
image (from the desktop or a folder) and paste it into an image placeholder
control.

an example is like taking a screenshot: a user takes a desktop screenshot,
then clicks on the rectangle placeholder for the image on an access form and
then presses CTRL+V to paste it into the placeholder.

my question is, which control would be best for this and would i need to
check for user keypresses for the image to paste into the placeholder or will
the control automatically handle the cut and paste part for me?

also, i said earlier that the image would be pasted from a desktop
screenshot or a file. is this possible or can it only be one or the other?
not sure if it's the same type of data being passed around...

thanks in advance.
 
hi thanks for the link i have looked in to this...question, is there a way to
automatically zoom/resize a photo in the image control so that it fits
perfectly in the control (like a thumbnail) rather than manually making it
bigger/smaller like in the example code? reason being that i am letting the
user add a picture to a record (in a smaller image control about 1-1.5 inches
long on each side, not as big as the one in the link example) but the picture
is basically thumbnail size and i prefer for it not to take up so much room
on my form.

it seems like an extra step to take and i would like to take care of that
for the user. they already have to click on a button to add the picture and
save. if possible i'd like to remove the adjustments on their part. how can
this be done so that the picture fits neatly (but not necessarily perfectly
in width/height w/o distortion) inside the image control?
 
hi, i haven't been able to find any examples (at least from what i've been
looking at).

i would email Stephen Lebans but it says "All programming questions will be
ignored" and "Please do not Email programming questions as I will not
respond" on the website.
