How to display JEPEG or GIF file in dialog box

[rsn14028]

Hello friends,


Any body can tell me how I can disply a GIF OR JEPEG file in a dialogue box using win32. Please tell me also How to covert a GIF and JEPEG to BMP format.

Thank you

This can be done, but I think that you may have to obtain a license to do it. See

It's your responsibility to figure out the legal issues and to do what's right.

That said, here's some sites that may help:
1. The March 2001 issue of the C/C++ Users Journal ran an article by Bret S. Pherson called "Documenting the Graphic Import Filter Interface". I don't think the article is available on the web, but you can at least see the issue's table of contents, and probably figure out how to order a copy, at

2. There is a "GIF View" sample at

Another alternative that might be both easier and less susceptible to legal problems (??) would be to use CHtmlCtrl, which is Paul DiLascia's modification of the MFC CHtmlView class. You can read about it at
