# Picture Ring Control Overview

Use picture ring controls to select from a group of items. Each item is stored in the ring control in the form of an image/value pair, where the image is a bitmap displayed by the control when the item is selected, and the value is the numeric—or string—value corresponding to that item. A sample picture ring control appears in the following figure.
