Well now it's possible!
All it takes is to know the image's Url and size and you're ready to go!
Here's a working example for showing an image in a Gui with the function and how to use it:
Code: Select all
Gui, -MinimizeBox +Resize +MinSize500x250
Gui, Add, ActiveX, x0 y0 w350 h100 vWB1, Shell.Explorer
; This can be an image from a website, or an image from your computer. Just specify the path based off of the current script directory.
Edit := WebPic(WB1, "https://autohotkey.com/assets/images/ahk-logo-no-text241x78-180.png", "w241 h78 cFFFFFF")
Gui, Add, Edit, x0 y105 w750 h215 -Wrap +HScroll vEdit TabStop WantReturn t8
Gui, Show, w750 h320, Gui Example
GuiControl,, Edit, % Edit
Return
GuiClose:
ExitApp
GuiSize:
GuiControl, MoveDraw, Edit, % "w" A_GuiWidth " h" A_GuiHeight - 105
Return

And thanks to the wonderful person: joedf for showing his usefulness in making this possible. I used part of his Display() function to get it working! Linked
