Saving a image as JPEG

[ycsim]

Does anybody know how to save an image from a picture box as a jpeg file,GIF file or some smaller file formats instead of the bitmap files which are large in size????

[vb cub]

Private Sub Command1_Click()
SavePicture Picture1, "c:\xxx.jpg"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("c:\yyy.gif")
End Sub

It would only change the extension and icon... but the format would remain same...i.e. bitmap...
I wish it were that simple...:)
You may need the Intel Jpeg Library... it is a dll which provides you the functions which convert BMP to JPG and vice versa..

Yes, Moinkhan, you are correct. The Intel JPEG library is what you need. If your app is for commercial use you will have to register and pay a licence fee too. Its similar to mp3
