[Triacona]

Dear all,

I am trying to create a form that will take a wmf file and convert it to jpg or gif.

So far my for has a button, Convert, a txt box,txtPath
The path is default to where my image is stored.

I there any way in VB code behind the button to do the conversion depending on the path and filename given in the txtPath text box.

Thank you for your help

Thank you,

I'm not sure how to carry out the conversion itself, but as far as determining if the conversion is needed based on the path or filetype I think a regular expression would be you best bet. Simply analyze the file path/file name/extension for a particular pattern and process accordingly. I'm new to VBA so I've yet to get a chance to use them, but from I've seen they're definietly supported.

The string comparison operators might also be worth looking into:

Actually you're probably best of using the LIKE operator, like so:

If strFileName LIKE "*.jpg" Then
 'Do conversion for Jpg files
End If

I hope this was something similar to what it was you were looking for.

Thanks for your reply Chunter33

The path has the file name as to what I want to convert...
i.e. c:\images\wmf1.wmf
I want to convert wmf to good quality jpg or png or gif.

So if I click the button, it will take the image and convert it to the above file formats.

Thanks again for your help


Thank you,
