VB6 -- Edit Image

[wiz....]

Hello,

I wanted help on a program that would edit an image. What i actually want is to add a strip containing some text to the image.

This means that I have to increase the height of the image and add my default banner.

How can this be done ? Is there any available submission or any other post that might help me to get started ??

Thanks for ur Help in advance.
Wiz

Here's some code you can study:

Private Sub Form_Load()
 Dim SP As StdPicture
 Dim Cap As String 'caption
 Dim TH As Long, TW As Long 'text width/height
 Dim CapTop As Boolean
 CapTop = True
 Cap = "Default Caption"
 Set SP = LoadPicture("C:\MyDocs\Misc\kws.bmp")
 With Picture1
  .ScaleMode = vbTwips
  .AutoRedraw = True
  TW = .TextWidth(Cap)
  TH = .TextHeight("|")
  .Width = Picture1.ScaleX(SP.Width, vbHimetric, vbTwips)
  .Height = Picture1.ScaleY(SP.Height, vbHimetric, vbTwips) + TH

  If CapTop Then
   .PaintPicture SP, 0, TH
   'optional
   Picture1.Line (0, 0)-(.Width, TH), vbCyan, BF
   .CurrentX = (.Width - TW) \ 2 'center the text
   .CurrentY = 0
  Else
   .PaintPicture SP, 0, 0
   Picture1.Line (0, .Height - TH)-(.Width, .Height), vbCyan, BF
   .CurrentX = (.Width - TW) \ 2
   .CurrentY = .Height - TH
  End If
  Picture1.Print Cap
 End With
End Sub
