[Gambas-user] Picture Viewer Project

[Michael Sullivan]

I've gotten past the Null Object error.  Here is my code:

PUBLIC SUB fileList_Select()
  DIM hPic AS Picture 
  DIM tempPic AS String 
 
  tempPic = myDir & "/" & Str(fileList.Current)     
  hPic = NEW Picture
  hPic.Load(tempPic)
  
  MyPicture.Picture = hPic  

END

But whenever I pick any picture filename I get the error "Unable to load
picture".  The documentation says that the PictureBox control can load
jpegs.  The picture I tried it on was a jpg.  Does that make a
difference?  What am I doing wrong?
