Is there any code or function(s) that I can use in VB6 to convert a bitmap image to a GIF image (gif file)/
Use GDI+ for it.
try these: http://www.catenary.com/howto/bmp2gif.html (maybe you need a library: VIC32.DLL)
and: http://www.vbmania.com.br/pages/inde...ir&varID=93906
or just save it for gif format;)
i hope help you
No way! That DLL is $499.00Quote:

That doesn't change the picture data, just the name only
I already wrote:
Load and save all GDI+ formats, example:Quote:

Super great! You made it so any of those formats can be saved as a GIF. Nice, more than what I asked for. Thanks a lot, Mikle, great job. I see that by a few modifications any of the formats can be saved as any of the other formats.Quote:

2) Also, instead of saving the output is there a way to hold the image (and the file data) in memory (I will save later)? I'm making an app that makes animated gif images so I need all the images stored in memory with the image data (the gif file data) so later I can merge all the data into one animated gif file.
Use "GdipBitmapLockBits", then "CopyMemory" and "GdipBitmapUnlockBits" to copy image data to your array in memory.Quote:

You can use "SetDIBitsToDevice", with your array, also you can use "ByVal lData.Scan0" instead of array in "Bits As Any" argument.Quote:

An example of using these functions can be found in the next topic about SR2D engine.
