Almost all of the limitations in the Express Editions are with respect to the
IDE features and other tools. But the .NET Framework libraries, such as
System.Drawing, are available in the Express Editions.

I suppose it's because of the same silliness that is repeatedly directed towards
me. Do you expect the response to change?

Hey, who'm I to argue? If you're okay with being seen as a disgrace,
it'd really be pointless anyway...

Hello Karl.

I downloaded and tried to use FreeImage. There is a VB test project there
but when i try to execute it from the VB 6 IDE, i gives the error "Compile
Error: Expected list separator or)" on this line:

Public Declare Function FreeImage_ToneMapping Lib "FreeImage.dll" Alias
"_FreeImage_ToneMapping(a)20" (ByVal dib As Long, UNKNOWN tmo As
FREE_IMAGE_TMO, Optional ByVal first_param As Double = 0, Optional ByVal
second_param As Double = 0) As Long

I have no idea of how to use the DLL with this software. I can't add it as
a reference to the VB test project.

Any help you can provide would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony
