[Gambas-user] How to change a picture when a key is pressed ?

[Bill Richman]

I don't see the original post of this question, but when I was trying to 
do something like this, I ended up using a "ToolButton".  You can assign 
pictures to them and change them using the same 
"Picture.Load(mypicture.jpg)" command.  They generate "ToolButton_click" 
events.  The ToolButton is (at least in my world) on the Form tab, 
between the "Toggle Button" and the "Slider" controls, shown as a button 
with a small picture of the GAMBAS logo on it.  Hope this helps.
