Hi Christof

Wonder if you can help - I now have VFP9 - here is my code

* Initalize GDI+
Set CLASSLIB to "_Gdiplus.vcx" Additive

* Load the original image
Local loFile
loFile = CreateObject("gpBitmap")
loFile.CreateFromFile("im002.bmp")

* new bitmap 3 times as large (scale factor 200%)
Local loBitmap
loBitmap = CreateObject("gpBitmap")
loBitmap.Create(loFile.ImageWidth*3,loFile.ImageHeight*3)

* insert the scaled image into the new bitmap
Local loGP
loGP = CreateObject("gpGraphics")
loGP.CreateFromImage( m.loBitmap )
loGP.DrawImageScaled( m.loFile, 0,0,loFile.ImageWidth*3,loFile.ImageHeight*3 )

* Save as JPG.
loBitmap.SaveToFile("test.jpg","im20.jpg")

I get this error

GDI + Object not created or associated

gpBitmap

Thanks

Colin
