VB6 - Show image Metadata (XMP, EXIF, Thumbnail, etc) with WinRT BitmapDecoder Class

[VanGoghGaming]

This project uses the BitmapDecoder WinRT class to enumerate the metadata properties of an image (such as those properties saved by a professional digital camera). A TypeLib with the required WinRT interface definitions is included in the ZIP archive.

The project also showcases some bitmap transforms that can be applied to the image before displaying it, like Scale, Flip and Rotation:



Here is the demo project: MetaDataProperties.zip (test image not included as it was a whooping 5MB, way too much for the forum attachment size limits, so you need to provide your own image or download a fresh one loaded with metadata properties)!

* Later Edit: here's the link for the test image.
