Scanning An Image
I've got a problem with the scanning an image and save it to a default place.

my source code:
---------------------------------------------------------
If ImgScan1.ScannerAvailable Then
ImgScan1.ShowScanPreferences
ImgScan1.StartScan
ImgScan1.ScanTo = FileOnly
ImgScan1.Image = "C:image.tif"
Else
MsgBox "Scanner not available", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "not available"
End If
Unload Form1
---------------------------------------------------------

The scan-dialog opens but if I take a snapshot it doesn't save the image to the harddisk. No error occurs!

some solutions?

Scanning Image In VB
Dear,

I'd used ImgScan.ocx and ImgEdit.ocx on my app. It work well on mine (Win2000) but can't on client (Win98 - can't register imgscan.ocx & imgedit.ocx while installation process) I think this control lack of resource document.

Have someone know another ActiveX control for scanning process. If it's free ware, I'll appreciate

Thank in advance

Scanning Using Kofax Image Controls
Hello, I am using KODAC i80 scanner for developing an application in Visual basic scanner. I am using KOFAX imaging controls for this purpose. But While initializing scanner I am getting error as "the ordinal 551could not be located in the dynamic link library kcl310.dll "

Kodak ImageScan Control And Greyscale Scanning
hi,

I've created an image program that will scan in documents using the Kodak ImageScan control that comes standard with Win98. The scanner takes too long to scan in colour (around 45 seconds) and if I scan in using greyscale it is a much more satisfactory speed.

Problem is I can only get it to scan in greyscale using the software that came with the scanner (HP5400c) and if I try to use my program and the ImageScan control, it comes through in colour anyway and the file is huge (13.6MB)

I use the following code to scan the image:

With ImgScan1
.FileType = TIFF
.SetPageTypeCompressionOpts CustomSettings, Gray8Bit, JPEGCompression, JPEGMedMed
.Image = 'filename
ret = .StartScan
End With

i've also tried the following setcompressionoptions which hung the program or didn't work

.SetPageTypeCompressionOpts CustomSettings, Gray8Bit, LZWCompression, NoCompInfo
.SetPageTypeCompressionOpts CustomSettings, Gray8Bit, LZWCompression, LZWInfo
.SetPageTypeCompressionOpts CustomSettings, Gray8Bit, Uncompressed, NoCompInfo

If anyone could assist me I would be very greatful.

Viewing Image From Database Without Data Control And Bound Image Control (VB6).
Hi, everyone. I'm new here and this is my first call for help.

I am making a database app in VB6 where I want everything to be accessed through VB code (without using a data control and bound controls), using Jet statements (DAO 3.51) . The only thing that escapes me so far are the images (jpegs) stored in the database. Anybody know how to show an image from a database in an image control without using a data control and bound image control (using just VB code)?

The images where stored by a small utility I made as a helper to the other program. It basically stores a binary copy of the jpeg files, in batch mode, into a binary field of an access table, along with some other info.

I Need To STOP Image FLICKERING! The Regular Image Control Flickers
So heres the problem....

I'm working on a skinning module for my software and i have menu pages,, on each page i move image controls around so that I can have multiple pages of buttons....

When I click the different menu buttons the images flicker, its not so bad on a fast computer, but on slower computers it really shows.

Does anyone have ANY idea of how to stop this flickering? Ive tried putting the controls on a picturebox / frame, and making the frame invisible/moving it off the screen, but that doesnt work... no matter what I do the images always flicker.

I would use the picturebox because that doesnt flicker,, but it doesnt support transparencies and theres always a box around the image.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How To Pass Image Name To Image Control In Data Reports
Hi,

I would like to set the image name as

if productid="app101" then
image. ="apple.jpg"

Load, Resize And Center Image In Image Control?
I would like to create thumbnails quickly. I have used the method of loading an image into an image control, getting it's size to determine the ratio, and resize it but it's too slow.

I understand you can acheive much faster results using the StretchBlt api. However, I don't have the slightest clue on how to do it.

Here's what I would like to accomplish:

Load an image at run-time into an image control and have it resize and center quickly, maintaining the correct aspect ratio of the original image.

I would appreciate it if you could post some sample code or point me in the right direction..

Thanks,

Dan

Use An Image Control Or A Picture Box And Resize Image Smaller
I've read numerous posts here about what i'm trying to do, but this being the first time I've tried this I could use a little kick start! Or you can just beat me up and abuse me, but help me please!

I'm trying to make a little preview area on the form or in a picture box or image control whatever works best ( or easiest).

ALL of my images are larger than my display area. I need to make them smaller. My current image control has a height of 1935 and a width of 3015. So far I've loaded the picture but with a picture box the image is way to big for the amount of space and the image control stretches to make the image fit even with stretch set to false. TIA

Help, Image Wont Show In Image Control!
For some reason, the image control does not show the JPG file that I am trying to show.

I am using:

Set imgPreview.Picture = LoadPicture(Destination)

The value of Destination is:
C:Documents and SettingsJaime GonzalezMy DocumentsVisual Studio ProjectsImage Downloaderimages01.jpg

I added a breakpoint and did a print.debug to print the value if imgPreview.Picture after setting the image and this is what it showed:
-351990026

I have tried many times and it does not show anything in the image control. I had the same problem with the picturebox control. I must be doing something wrong. What could it be?

Thanks in advance.

Test For Valid Image For Image Control
I did a search but didn't come up with this. I've got an image control (VB6 under XP HOME) on a form and there is a command button to allow the user to search for an image. Of course, there is an error if they should select say a .txt file or something else. How can I check for a valid image?

The MSDN disks I have say an image control can only use bitmap images ... I've been using jpgs without a problem.

TIA

Fitting Image In Image Box Or Picture Box Control

Could you help me out?

RESOLVED: What Is The Best Way To Remove An Image From An Image Control?
I load an image into the Image control like the following:

Code:Set Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("c: mp.jpg")

When I want to remove the picture from the Image control, I do the following:

Code:Set Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("")

.... however, should I be doing this instead?

Code:Set Image1.Picture = Nothing

.... or possibly some other logic?

I am encountering a problem in my application which seems to be caused by the Image control picture not unloaded correctly. I have not had a lot of time to dig around to try to locate the cause, but I wanted to make sure my unloading picture handling was sufficient before I spent time looking for another cause of the problem.

Also, what does using the "LoadPicture("")" actually do? I mean, does the Image control think some "NULL" thing is loaded, so the image control does not really think it is empty? Curious

Image Manipulation In Image Control
Hi,

I want to change the RGB colour values of certain pixels in a .gif image inside an image control. Right now I am trying with the GetDIBits/StretchDIBits API Calls, but cannot because image control does not have a dc.

1) Is there anyway i can get the image control to behave like a 'heavy' control or am i stuck using pictureboxes?

2) Is there a simpler way to work with image pixels? The GetPixel and SetPixel API Methods are a bit too slow and VB's Pixel routines are WAY to slow...

Image Manipulation / Image Control
I'm new to the list so hello everyone. I'm working on a vb6 application
and I've ran into a brick wall with regard to image manipulation. Basically,
I'm loading a jpg image into an image control. I'm trying to rotate the
image 180 degrees before displaying. I can accomplish this easily using
picture box control by using win32 api to modify data. But because the
image control doesn't have a dc, I can't get it to work. I tried using
a picture box as a 'middle man' but when I set imagectl.picture = picbox.picture,
the original unmodified image is displayed. Anyone know of a workaround?
Or am I limited to using a picturebox? Any tips apprecitated.

Finding The Size Of The Contents Of An Image Control Or A PictureBox Control
How does one find that? Once the user selects an Image to be displayed, I want to know the size of that image. Is it possible to detect the size of the image? It sure must be stored somewhere, right? Similar threads I have seen all point to BitBlt and other Bitmap API and they are way over my head!

To be precise, I want to copy an image to a byte array, but I am stumped when it comes to re-dimensioning the array. This is for a Winsock application. Currently I am writing the image to a temp disk file and reading it back into a Byte Array. I want to avoid that

Thanx for you help in advance

Resolved: Opening An .exe In A Control Such As The Image Or Frame Control
Hello everyone,

It's not a critical problem by far However, I was just wondering if there was an easy way or even a way to open an exe program in a frame, Image, or any other control. I know the easy way to open an exe is the shell command.

If there is a way second part could you run like program switches with the shell or a different way. /s /f /d

Thanks in advance

I appreciate any information.

Image Control Over Picture Control
hi there

how do you get a image control over a picture control as it always wants to go behind it.

Bring To front does not work as well as Zorder does not work.

Note: I dont want the image control in the picture control just on the outside this is because the image control will not be updated but the picture box will be and would cause flickering.

You see I want the image control on half the GameArea control and half on the form this will look better.

thanks the pig

Label Control Over An Image Control
I have an app in which I have several label controls over an image control. The image control contians a .gif image. In the Mouse_Move events of the labels, I'm changing the color of the font when the mouse is over them and in the form Mouse_Move event I'm changing the color of the label font back to the original color. The .gif image has a light yellow background. The problem I'm having occurs when the mouse moves over the labels - their backgrounds briefly flash white before the font color changes. Is there a way to prevent this? The reason I'm using an image control is to compensate for different screen resolutions on end user computers - the .gif image resizes based on that resolution.

Image Control
can animated gif's be displayed in Image control - i know it displays an animated gif as a static image...thanks

Image Map Control For VB
This control works just like a client side HTML Image Map.

You load up an image and then define regions (rectangular, circular or polygonal) and thereafter the control raises click and mouseover evenst for these regions.

This is a simple way to get the kind of rich user interface that users are getting used to through internet use.

The code is free, but I'd appreciate a credit if you use it in an application.
