Thanks to Sam for the advice on my previous post, but here's another!
The standard VB "SavePicture" call _always_ saves as bitmaps - does anyone know a way to either:
1. Save from a picture box to a jpeg or gif
OR
2. Convert an image already saved in a particular format
Thanks,
K
I think VB deals exlusively with Bitmaps, it's the price you have to pay for the ease of use of the language, there might be a control you can buy to do this, have a look around companies Desaware's a good place to start if you want to pay for it, If you want a free/cheap one you'll have to look a bit harder, and there may be bugs in it.
Actually it would appear there _is_ a way to convert with standard B stuff.
If you've got imaging installed, you get some Wang (NT4) or Kodak (Win2K) .ocx's that will load and save jpeg, tiff and bmps in various depths etc..
Only problem is that now the code for resizing the initial image doesn't work - I'm not sure why but I get a corrupted looking image instead of the resized version of what I want. I've no idea why this has started happening, afaik I'm using exactly the same code as I did b4!
