loading tiff, bmp and DIB file in MDI application

[User 545719]

Hi, I am developing an MDI application to load .bmp,.tiff and DIB files. For bmp the program works fine but for tiff it displays "error in opening DIB file". What I've found so far in the web is a program which display only tiff file. Anyone can help me? Quite urgent... deadline approaching :sigh: and I am real beginner in MFC... thx in advance crinoidea

u would need to understand the tiff file format and convert after opening images ... there are a bunch of libs here on cp that will do that for u if u look :)

You mean using .lib files? Can I do without the .lib files so that I have a stand alone .exe application?

I have downloaded Microsoft SDK. This SDK contains "*.lib" and "*.h" files for GDI+ graphic library. With this library you can load tiff, jpeg, gif, bmp formats with three lines of code. For example: //for opening image... Image *pImage; pImage=Image::FromFile(L"myimage.tiff"); //for drawing on pDC... CRect rect; GetClientRect(&rect); Graphics *pGraphics=Graphics::FromHDC(pDC->GetSafeHdc()); UINT width = m_pImage->GetWidth(); UINT height= m_pImage->GetHeight(); Rect destinationRect(0, 0, rect.Width(), rect.Height()); // Scale the image so that it fills the destination rectangle. pGraphics->DrawImage(m_pImage,destinationRect, 0, 0, width, height, UnitPixel); yiy

Thanks for the code, but actually I am starting from DIBlook from MFC sample: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcsample98/html/\_sample\_mfc\_diblook.asp Is it possible to modify this program so that it can display .tiff image as well? I have found a .cpp file which can convert .tiff to DIB, but not sure how to integrate it.
