Hello all,

I add images with "open file dialog" in a rich text box (multiselect=true), and images are scaled down to 10% of their original sizes automatically. When double clicked on scaled down images, I would like to make the images double clicked on to be shown at their original sizes with the computer's default image viewer? How can I make it happen?

Hi,
I can't get added image(s) file path when I double clicked on added image(s).

You can't do that. If the image is saved at 10% of its original size then the system image viewer cannot know that. You should store them full size if you want them displayed that way.

Hi Richard,

I don't save images. I use Clipboard and Paste images in RichTextBox.

Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Picture, Picture.Width * 10 / 100, Picture.Height * 10 / 100)

When I double click on the images which I added in rich text box, I'd like the image be shown in its original size.
Nothing is changed in the original images, as you can see.

Then you will need to save the image in full size as a file, and then call the image viewer on that file.
