PICTUREBOX TO JPG (Not BMP) Or Converting

[progeix]

Hello, Is there a way to save a picturebox image to JPG instead of the BMP format? Or a way to convert BMP to JPG?

thanks

Doing so would require a 3rd party function or you to make an exporting subroutine that did so. See http://www.wotsit.org/ for details on the JPEG, or any other file format for that matter.

Well I couldn't find anything for VB on that site..

if there another format PICTUREBOXES save into then?

BMPs always come out as 10 MBs.. (15000 pixels being saved)

so ANY OTHER format, with a smaller size, i would like to use

also hope the image comes out good

No, they're not VB. They just say what bytes go where, so they can be used in any OS.
Doing this kind of thing isn't easy. I suggest if you are a beginner in this subject field, look for an ActiveX control that does this for you.
