I'm a kiddie when it comes to DC manipulation, so forgive me if from now on I seem stupid!
I need to read an image file (let's say, a .jpg) from disk, and display it as needed (with resizing depending on the control's dimensions) on my ActiveX control's DC (windowed control). There's nothing special about this. And the file format does not matter; it can be .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, anything. What I need is a solution that is simple, fast, usable on all versions of windows, and easy to perform for a DC kiddie. And I need to prepare it as quickly as I can, because the deadline I have to face is very near. I did a search on MSDN, and found lots of information. Many of it looks good, but I don't have enough knowledge to make a decision on which path to take, nor do I have enough time to read up on the subject on my own (my usual method of learning.) So is anyone feeling like struggling with a DC newbie? :-) Thanks! ------------- Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (www.farda-tech.com) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] In the mountains the shortest way is from peak to peak, but for that route you must have long legs.
