15.1.3..The Picture Control.............................................................................

If you need to display a picture for your application, Visual C++ provides a special

control for that purpose. To do this, you can use Microsoft Picture Clip Control available

from the Insert ActiveX Control. After adding it to your application, use its Picture

property page to specify the picture you want to display.
