DIB to Bitmap

G

Giles

Im trying to make an application that will accept an image
that has been dragged from IE and dropped onto my form.
The Drag Drop event code is as follows:


Private Sub DragTarget_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As DragEventArgs) Handles pb.DragDrop,
MyBase.DragDrop

If (e.Data.GetDataPresent("DeviceIndependentBitmap")) Then

Dim item As Object = CType(e.Data.GetData
("DeviceIndependentBitmap"), System.Object)

If (e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy Or _
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move) Then
Dim ms As IO.MemoryStream = CType(item,
IO.MemoryStream)
Dim bm As Bitmap = Bitmap.FromStream(ms) '***
Dim img As Image = bm
pb.Image = bm

End If

End If

End Sub

when executing nothing past the line marked '*** is
executed, and no error is produced.

Can anyone explane whats going on, and how to get this DIB
to display in a pictureBox (pb in the code above)

Thanks in advance,

Giles

Hi Giles,
The Problem is you didn't handle the data format of CF_DIB in clipboard
properly.
You may Drag&Drop the image using this way.
You may find the code used in this example in
http://dnetmaster.net/source/dibtoimage.zip
<code>
private void Form1_DragDrop(object sender,
System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
{
object obj = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.Dib);
System.IO.MemoryStream stream = obj as System.IO.MemoryStream;
if(stream != null)
{

byte[] img = stream.ToArray();
IntPtr p = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(Marshal.SizeOf(img[0])*img.Length);
Marshal.Copy(img,0,p,img.Length);
try
{
pictureBox1.Image = TwainGui.DibToImage.WithStream(p);
}
finally
{
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(p);
}
}
}
If you have anything unclear , please be free to let me know!
Thanks for using MSDN Newsgroup!

Dear Ying-Shen Yu,

the bitmap class to do this!!

Cheers,

Giles
