Load image from memory into VB6 PictureBox

I'm not a VB6 developer so excuse me if I'm not making any sense.

If I have a VARIANT array of bytes containing an RGB array of image data, is it possible to get that data to be displayed in a PictureBox? The PictureBox documentation suggests that the only acceptable sources are files.

Additionally, the image size and other image information is known.

The PictureBox documentation lies. But unfortunately, it’s not pretty to create an IPictureDisp in memory. The following link may help you – unfortunately, it’s in German:

There may be a better (i.e. faster) method, but you should look in to the PSet method of a picture box control.
