Converting bmp files to jpeg files 4

[lmb3]

Is there a way in VB to convert a bitmap file to a jpeg file so that the file can be opened using internet explorer? If so, how would you go about doing this?
Thanks

Hi,

VB does not support convertion of bmp images to jpg.
There is, however, some plug-ins that support image conversions. ImgX is a dll which can be easily used in vb programs to convert bmp to jpg (but it's not free).

Use ACDSee Browser, right-click on the BMP files and then choose the JPG format you want to convert.

Hope this helps, s-)

I found the ACDSee Browser and I see how it can convert images from BMPs to JPEGs, but how would I use this program to do this conversion entirely in visual basic?

I think you should look for some controls registered by the ACDSee they sure got some method for that, but then you will be ACDSee dependent, not talking about licence & stuff.

I think you are looking for an image converter OCX. Try to find one free on the internet, though I doubt you will find.

Good luck, s-)

I've been looking quite a lot around the net to find a free dll or ocx that can convert bmp to jpg, but haven't found one.
ImgX is not expensive, easy to use and has a lot of additional features.
