Hi group
I wonder which one is faster :
1 - adding all the images that should be displayed on the form at design time

hi all..
i need to output a letter (and print preview it) that contains an
insurance policy offer.
this letter should be read only, so i can't use work automation.

I have read many papers about reading and writing the registry,
but I didn't get the clue til now:
I wrote an app which reads the PATH Key from the registry,
modifies the path and stores it to the path key in HKLM......

I need to know what possibly the minimum length could be of the strings
produced by these 2 API's,
