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.

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

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
