How to convert 1d array containing RGB data into a 2d array to show with IMAQ display

Hi, I'd like to know if there is a way to convert my array into a 2d array in order to load it to a IMAQ display using ArrayToImage.
This is is how the data is arranged in the array
Element0 =R
Element1=G
Element2=B
Element3 =R
Element4=G
Element5=B
Element6 = R
Element7=G
Element8=B
...
Element N
The size of the array is = width * height * 3...
 I want to know if there is a way to convert this array to a 2d Array to use with imaq.
I can't figure out how to do it in labview, I did the same in VB 6.0, but I'm newbiee at LabVIEW...
This is the code I used in VB.   
    
    bReval = StCam_TakePreviewSnapShot( m_hCamera, pbyteImageBuffer(0), dwBufferSize, dwNumberOfByteTrans, dwFrameNo, dwMilliseconds)  
    ' m_hCamera = is the handler of the camera   
    ' pbyteImageBuffer(0) = is the Buffer where the image is stored   
    ' dwBufferSize = width * height * 3  = 1024 * 768 * 3   
     'Then I convert the 1d buffer to a 2d array   
        i = 0
        For k = 0 To 767
            For j = 0 To 1023
                myImageArray(j, k) = RGB(CInt(pbyteImageBuffer(i + 2)), CInt(pbyteImageBuffer(i + 1)), CInt(pbyteImageBuffer(i)))
                i = i + 3
            Next j
        Next k

    'And finally I create the image with the given 2d array
     frmMain.CWIMAQViewer1.Image.ArrayToImage myImageArray  

Thanks.
Attatched is the vi I'm using, and also a picture of the vi.
