Image Editing control for VB 6 in Windows XP

[sm43]

Hi,
I was using the Kodak Image Editing controls in a Visual Basic 6 program on Win 2000 Professional. The Kodak Image Editing controls are installed with Windows Imaging (tm).

I had to move my development environment over to a machine running Win XP Prof. - and now I find that Imaging is not part of Windows XP - and so my machine doesn't have those controls (namely imgadmin.ocx, imgedit.ocx etc..) . How do I get these controls for Win XP?? I don't want to change image editor in my VB program..

Any help would be appreciated ...


Thanks a bunch!

If I remember correctly, someone in this forum stated that if you have an older MS OS disk that has the Imaging For Windows installable on it you can use that to install it on XP.

Good Luck

Under XP you can use the snappily titled (and little publicised) Windows Image Acquisition Automation Library, which provides most of the functionality that existed in the Wang/Kodak controls. The following link may be of help:

The above library may also work on W98/Me/NT4/2000 if you have installed the GDI+ libraries. I haven't tested this yet, but for the curious you can get the GDI+ redistribitables here:

I tried this a while back and it doesn't seem to work...

Fair enough. I'm just quoting my old mail on the subject and, as I said, I hadn't tested it.

Yes I did see that you had mentioned that, but I may have done something wrong, and was hoping for someone to come along and show me that it does indeed work...

Does anyone know where in the Windows 2000 CD is the installer/bin/cab for Imaging .. or exactly how I would install it from the CD. XP disables setup capability on Windows 2000 Cd - when you run the cd on it.


The reason that I want to go with Kodak Imaging controls only is to support cross-platform development between Windows 2000 and Windows XP - it shouldn't be hard (onus on Microsoft) since they're both versions close-apart by the same vendor).

Actually come to think of it MS had a download for installing imaging for windows. I don't know if they still have it up but you could search for it.

Good Luck
