Bitmap into Matrix

[RichCraig]

Hi

I have been looking all day for a way to get a bitmap from the clipboard into a matrix or array. I have seen it done in C and .Net but I can't see anyone who's done it in VB6.
I am guessing VB6 doesn't have access to MemoryStream functions like .Net?
I have been writing a program in VB6 to do some simple image analysis and need to speed things up, which is why I am trying to learn about memorystreams etc.

Can anyone make any suggestions what I can do in VB6 or shall i convert to .NET?

Many thanks

Richard

A google on "bitmap clipboard array vb6 api" has a few things. This might be worth investigating:

Thanks for the better google search! Found a nice bit oc code from VB-Helper.com that uses the Set/GetDIBits API function.

Excellent. If you would, publish the link to what you used once you get it working. I'd be interested to see it, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

Thanks,

Bob

I'm pretty certain we've covered GetDIBits in this forum on a number of occassions
