Hi,
I have a db in which I store jpegs as blobs. I'm fine with the storing of the images to the raw field and writing them to disk if need be. However, I want to be able to spool the raw data into a picture control directly from the database field--ie an Access or VB form with a single Image control or picturebox--on each record I want to load that control with the blob image.
The Image control or object takes a file path for the picture, and I'm assuming it filters/converts it on-the-fly into a .dib format, since the .PictureData size is far, far bigger than the filesize when I load a diskfile (my current, but not preffered method) into the image control.
However, I want to cut out the middleman, as it were, and I need a function or method that will convert/filter the blob data directly to the image control. Is this possible (without a 3rd party control) or would I need a 3rd party control to do such a task?
Thanks,
--Jim
