A sample that can load, display, and print graphics files.

ImgViewer

Introduction

This sample is an MFC application using the document/view architecture that can load, display and print graphics files such as GIF, JPEG, BMP (bitmap), ICO (icon), WMF (metafile) and EMF (Win32-enhanced metafile). It shows

  • how to use the OleLoadPicturePath() function and the IPicture interface to load and display those graphics files.

  • (Look into the ImgViewerDoc.cpp, ImgViewerView.cpp and MainFrm.cpp files.)
  • how to support more than one file extension per MFC document type.

  • (Look into the MulExtDocTmp.cpp, MulExtDocTmp.h and ImgViewer.cpp files.)

Please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q218972 How To Load and Display Graphics Files w/LOADPIC.EXE
(Note that LOADPIC.EXE does not handle palettes. As a result, it won't display a 256-color image correctly in 256-color mode. Also, it uses the OleLoadPicture() function instead of the OleLoadPicturePath() function.)
