Using a TIFF file like a BMP file

[estatefacts]

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to load a TIFF file into an Image object so that I can print it out using VB6. I already know how to do this with a BMP file. I have read several threads that refer to downloading and using the imageeditor (I may not have spelled this correctly) and I have the imageeditor. But I have not seen any messages that tell how to use the imageeditor and most importantly the code examples that shows how to use it. For example I know how to do this:

Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Picture Files\Picture_of_Airplane.bmp")

Printer.PaintPicture Image1.Picture, 0, 0, Printer.ScaleWidth, Printer.ScaleHeight

But I have no idea how to do the above or something similar with a TIFF file.

Thank you so much for reading this message and for your help!

Instead of using a picture box use a Wang Image Edit control if you have it installed - it comes standard for WindowsNT4 (but is not present on Xp).

Where Img1 is the name of the control

Img1.Image=Pathname of tiff file
Img1.FitTo 0,true
Img1.Display

The control also features a selection zoom facility.

Private Sub Img1_SelectionRectDrawn (byVal Left as Long, byVal Top as Long, byVal Width as Long, byVal Height as Long)

Img1.ZoomToSelection

End Sub

Hope this proves useful.
