To put a picture in a Picture box, you have three ways:

1) Get it from another control :-)

hPictureBox.Picture = hAnotherPictureBox.Picture

2) Create a new picture from a file and put it in the PictureBox.

DIM hPicture AS Picture
hPicture = NEW Picture
hPicture.Load("/path/to/my/picture")
hPictureBox.Picture = hPicture

3) Use the internal picture cache.

hPictureBox.Picture = Picture["/path/to/my/picture"]

The picture is stored in the cache, so that the next time you want the same 
file, the same picture object is returned.
