Saving contents of a picture box as GIF

Hi

my application copies the contents of several picture boxes into another, based on user input. something like taking portions of a map that a user wants.

but when i save the contents of the result picbox using savepicture, file size is too big. is there a way to save it as a GIF file?

i saw the intel jpeg utility. but i am interested in the GIF as the file size is smaller in GIF.

thanx in advance for the anybody who helps.

Try a search on Google for a Gif Saving ActiveX or DLL. I find it usually returns relevant results.

Dear,

I need that code too. If you get it, please send me ok?

in u'r component list there is a component called Kodak Image Edit Control.

alot of filetypes are supported :
