    Question

    Hi,

    I want to convert my drawings to GIF or JPEG on the fly.

    I mean, assuming that I draw on a form or a pciture box using methods like Line, Circle, etc. is there a way in Visual Basic 6.0 to save the image I created in GIF or JPG format so that I don't have to run the program all the time for the same graphic?

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Dude,
    The only thing that I can think of is doing an alt + Print Screen when you have the window active, then opening up a simple photoshop application, pasting, and then saving JPEG or GIF there... I wasn't sure if this is what you are looking for.. then you can take that image, and put it in your VB project if you like.

    If you have a lot of experience with programming, grab the specs of GIF and JPEG at http://wotsit.org

    If you're just using things like that, take a look at the WMF spec as well.

    You could ask me and i'll send you the code to save to JPEG
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
