Load a tif file

Hi!


How can I load a tif file into a picture control whitout convert him first.

Thanks

I think you would have to write code to interpret the tags (compression, resolution, no of strips blah blah), and then follow the pointers round the file to get to the parts that actually set the pixels on and off, then draw those yourself.

This is no trivial task, unless the tif file is monochrome uncompressed, since then you'll find strings of 1s and 0s (well hex actually) and use them to set your pixels.

I've actually done it for that case, but anything further is pretty complex.
