Again, until you move to a current Visual Basic we have to lean on prior discussions.

  1. Google "loadpicture vb6" and plenty of examples that work.
  2. To draw on that picture, example at https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?893506-Draw-on-StdPicture-objects
  3. There will be limitations such as the Bitmap type pictures only.
  4. There are few of us with access to VB6. While I wrote a lot of code back then, I no longer have the VB6 environment up and running.
