4268 :: Windows WIC or GDI+

• geezer9 (orginal) [2018-10-02T18:20:40+02:00] view original

  While writing an app using the oldwinapi module, I have a need to load a .png image file. Winapi LoadImage will only do a .bmp file. Is there a nim module for GDI+ or WIC?

  Or is gdiplus.h sitting in oldwinapi under some other name?

  I don't want to write against nimPNG if the winapi already has the necessary code since app size is an issue.

  I don't know about a GDI+ module, but you could take a look at the code of NiGui to see, how it is used there:

  • GDI+ binding (not complete)
  • method loadFromFile() using GdipCreateBitmapFromFile()

  winim has GDI+ module with GdipLoadImageFromFile and other.
