Can you load an image from a pointer?

[Joe Dean]

If an ActiveX control returns a pointer to a TIFF image and the size of the image (both integers), can a VB.NET App load the image from memory? There's no such thing as a bad beer... some are just better than others.

If the pointer is the handle to a bitmap, you can use Image.FromHbitmap: intPtr = new IntPtr( pointer ) img = Image.FromHbitmap( intPtr )

Of course... the ActiveX control returns a pointer to an in-memory TIFF image (not a bitmap). -Joe There's no such thing as a bad beer... some are just better than others.
