COOL! I did not knew that, though I knew that it is a reference to some sort of standard interface. Now it is also a good way to calculat image size (Before I recommended to load picture into the hidden VFP Image control and then get the image size after auto-resizing of Image control to the size of image). Are these properteis (x.Width and x.Height) reliable in VFP? I just looked to the MSDN for description of IPicture interface and did found a LOT of usful things. Could methods of this object be used too? I specially interested in "PICTURE_TRANSPARENT" attribute and seting palettes, as well as in image GDI handle to tha image data - to use it with API functions.
