Does anyone have an idea???

Thanks …..Steve C.

Steve,

I've never used the PICTURE message, but your syntax looks okay. Why don't you e-mail the BMP and JPG images and I'll test it on my system and let you know what I come up with.

Steve,

This is what Tony S said about printing JPEGs from OIPI last time I asked.

Oystein,

]]] OIPI still cannot print PICTUREs «<

I was not planning on implementing this feature until OIPI 4.0. This

version will be the 32-bit version with full support for RTF (embedded

fonts) and the PICTURE message for JPEG. All of the 16-bit imaging

software that I have evaluated does not expose the printing functions that

the OIPI requires or the support DLLs are too bulky (like 2 to 10MB). The

32-bit solution with the OIPI 4.0 works and uses the same logic as the

16-bit OIPI. The only problem will be with your clients that are using

Win31 – because the OIPI will automatically use the OIPI 3.5 (16-bit)

without the JPEG support.

Please let me know if the 32-bit solution will not work for your clients.

My next project will be the 32-bit OIPI, because the 16-bit version is

finally stable.

Tony

Use "BMP" to print JPGs as well. "PICTURE" is not valid.

Hey Mary Jean,

You *do* realize you are responding to a six year old thread don't you? I guess it is a good sign that everyone who is involved with this topic is still actively working in OpenInsight.
