I can't tell you for sure if that's the same one. Mine has 10099 lines
in it, if that lends a clue.

Well, mine is FreeImage392.pdf, so we're off by versions here. Looks
like yours (v3.13.1) is a bit newer than mine (v3.9.2). I just
downloaded the latest, and am looking at it now.

Ahhh, no! The BAS file that comes with that sucks. This is more like
the one I have:

http://files.codes-sources.com/fichier.aspx?id=38872&f=MFreeImage.bas

Although that's revision 1.5, and mine is 1.7 (which I can't seem to
figure out where I downloaded it from). Will keep looking around.

Well, you need to start by fixing that declare, as Nobody suggested.
But to really get on top of it, I'd suggest you get the module I'm
referring to, either from me or the site I just pointed you to, because
it fixes *all* the declares, and just generally makes them a lot
friendlier overall.

No, I wasn't being dismissive as I referred to everyone who
participates here, both the regulars and the drive-bys.

No, what you do is try to confuse those with questions, as in this
thread, by responding about a different product entirely.

If you care to dispute that, I'm confident the evidence is quite clear,
and the only proper response will be, "FU2!"

Not necessary Mike. I moved on to the MSDN .NET forums a couple of years ago. No
Classic VB forums there (other than the VB 6.0/VB .NET interop forum I support)
and that's why I still participate in this newsgroup.

As evidenced from my posts I support both Classic and .NET Visual Basic,
separately and together, and that won't change until the Classic questions have
dried up or until they shut down the NNTP newsgroup.

I must have missed the poll that was taken.

Yeah, I noticed the Windows API suggestions aren't exactly going very well for
the OP. Seems the COM solution made the most sense to him since he was easily
able to implement it. Go figure. Must be that confusing open sores library that
someone suggested.

LOL!

Well I'm sure the fact that *you* made that statement means that it's
automatically self evident and now the burden of proof is upon me to refute it.
Sometimes you're a riot (if not right) Karl! ;-)

Yep. FU2, btw.
