    Hi, Is there a way we can access/extract the image information from an image processing software so that we can modify the image in our vb.net project, for example apply edge detection etc?

      Accurately?? Only if the other application saves the image to a file that your application then loads. Getting the image directly from the other application is not possible unless the other app exposes some kind of API to do it. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

        Then is there a way to make the 'another program' to save as default in a location where my application loads from? Can you give me an example of the file which my application loads from?

          Again, this is entirely dependant on the "other program"!! If it doesn't expose any kind of API to do this, you're project is over with before you even start. There is no standard interface for this. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

            Hi, I'm sorry, but I am not sure what is an API, I tried google for it, and had a slight idea what is that, but I still dunno how to check the program's API. The program I wish to access is a software built under GNOME desktop environment. Does that help in what I intend to do?

              API stands for Application Programming Interface. It's a set of classes/functions that your code can call to interact with with application, operating system, or hardware you want. For example, Microsoft Word exposes a COM type library that outside applications can use to manipulate Word documents. You'll have to contact the manufacturer of the application your using to see if they supply an SDK (Software Development Kit) or API library to do what you want.

              If you're talking about a Linux environment, then you're pretty much on your own. CP is dedicated to Microsoft's environments and developer tools, but does have people that support other environments, but there are no discussion boards dedicated to them. Does this help your cause?? No, it doesn't have any bearing on your problem at all. You still face the exact same problems. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic
