Hi
I am writing a routine which lists through a text file and searches the directories on a PC the files. These files are .TIFF files and i want to print them. Whats the best way to do this, we use MS photoeditor to view them, can i call Photoeditor or can i print direct from VB?
Any help very, very welcome

You could use a picturebox to load the tiff and then use the picturebox.print command
Um... the Picturebox.Print doesn't print to the printer ..... it prints to the picturebox.... in other words if I put a pic box on a form then do PictureBox1.Print "Hello There!"... then the text, Hello There! shows up in the pic box... same as Form1.Print works....
IF the TIFF extention is associated with a particular program, what you could do is a ShellExecute. Then hit the Print. It requires User intervention though.
Anybody else???
..
Ideally i would prefer no user intervention at all....
:rolleyes:
"... the Picturebox.Print doesn't print to the printer ..."
Of course not. You will have "send" it to the Printer object. It may look something like the following:
VB Code:
in u'r component list there is a component called Kodak Image Edit Control.
alot of filetypes are supported :

try loading and printing it using this control.
I can be wrong but as far as I know Kodak Image Edit Control is not redistributable. You may need to obtain a special license for it.
