You can use an ImagePresenter with its 'Basic view' (an ImageView), and its
value set to an OLEPicture from the file.  E.g.

file := 'whatever.wmf'.
picture := OLEPicture fromFile: file.
ImagePresenter show: 'Basic image' on: picture.

I'm not sure if that works properly with EMF files -- I've only got one, and it
looks a bit odd (but maybe it's meant to).  You can also try the gdiplus
library which has been mentioned in this group before (check the archives
and/or Google), which has a better image viewer (although there seems to be
something strange about the way it thinks that WMF images are much bigger than
everyone else does).
