If you really are an MVP then you are a disgrace and an embarrassment to Microsoft. You are bringing the entire MVP program into disrepute and it is not fair on the other MVPs who are being tainted by your misbehaviour. Troll. Mike

I am still using a component I stole from somewhere years ago. I'll have to check WIA out. Thanks, for sharing. -ralph

If this is for something you only use, or for in-house use, try using IrfanView freeware instead. It can batch convert multiple files, and supports command line options.

You can write VB6 code to load the TIFF into a VB6 PictureBox using GDI+ and then save it out as a JPG. Mscir has already posted some VB6 code which will save a VB6 PictureBox Image as JPG for you and you'll find some VB6 code at the following link that uses GDI+ to load a TIFF file into a VB6 PictureBox: http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/t98285.html If you go to the above link you'll find lots of useful VB6 GDI+ stuff. The one you need to download for your specific job is the the file gdiplus8.zip. I've just downloaded it and tried it out myself. It works fine and is capable of loading either a standard single image TIFF or the individual frames of a multi image TIFF into a VB6 Form or PictureBox. Various other options have also already been posted by a number of very helpful people here, and there are other options out there as well if you look around. The main thing when posting questions here is to ignore people like Paul Clement, who is a troll and who is extremely unhelpful and whose intention is to deliberately lead people astray and who will think nothing of deliberately lying to you. There are a couple of other trolls who pop in here from time to time in an attempt to annoy people who use VB6 and to drive them towards VB.Net, but Paul Clement is currently the most active of them. He professes to be a Microsoft MVP, and there is in fact a real MVP by the name of Paul Clement, but I don't know for sure whether the Paul Clement troll who posts her is the real person or an imposter. I suspect he is the real one judging by the fact that an unusually large percentage of the trolls who from time to time infest this VB6 group are Microsoft MVPs. Read into that what you will. Mike |
