I can't tell you for sure if that's the same one. Mine has 10099 lines in it, if that lends a clue. >> But the helpfile for the DLL is extremely thorough. < > > Are you talking about this file? FreeImage3131.pdf. Well, mine is FreeImage392.pdf, so we're off by versions here. Looks like yours (v3.13.1) is a bit newer than mine (v3.9.2). I just downloaded the latest, and am looking at it now. Ahhh, no! The BAS file that comes with that sucks. This is more like the one I have: http://files.codes-sources.com/fichier.aspx?id=38872&f=MFreeImage.bas Although that's revision 1.5, and mine is 1.7 (which I can't seem to figure out where I downloaded it from). Will keep looking around. > I also have that, but i don't see how that helps me understand how to use > FreeImage in my VB 6 application. > > I'm still unsure of what to do and how to fix the errors i am getting. Well, you need to start by fixing that declare, as Nobody suggested. But to really get on top of it, I'd suggest you get the module I'm referring to, either from me or the site I just pointed you to, because it fixes *all* the declares, and just generally makes them a lot friendlier overall. -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

No, what you do is try to confuse those with questions, as in this thread, by responding about a different product entirely. If you care to dispute that, I'm confident the evidence is quite clear, and the only proper response will be, "FU2!" -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

Yeah, I noticed the Windows API suggestions aren't exactly going very well for the OP. Seems the COM solution made the most sense to him since he was easily able to implement it. Go figure. Must be that confusing open sores library that someone suggested. � If you care to dispute that, I'm confident the evidence is quite clear, � and the only proper response will be, "FU2!" LOL! Well I'm sure the fact that *you* made that statement means that it's automatically self evident and now the burden of proof is upon me to refute it.
