From: Tony Girgenti on 3 Mar 2010 07:54 Hello Henning. I don't think so. It is only one line in the code. It only displays like that in this post, I guess because this editor is wrapping it. The line before and the line after are Public Declare lines also.

One would expect ByVal or ByRef instead of "UNKNOWN". See the declaration that Henning posted.

Hello Henning and Nobody. I'm not sure of what you guys are trying to tell me. I just downloaded what i found at FreeImage.SourceForge.Net on the recommendation of the repliers to my question. It's supposed to work in VB6 right? There are no instructions on how to use the .DLL or the wrapper. I have no idea of what a wrapper is.
