Open/SaveAs/Close MSPaint form VB6?

[SkennyR]

I have searched the forums but cant find a good answer to my question.
I would like to open .png files with VB6 but cant.
I can however open the png file with MSpaint, then re-save it as a .jpg file. Then I can open the .jpg image with VB6.
It would be real neat if I could automate this with VB6, have VB6 run MSPaint, open all the png files in a folder, save all the files as .jpg images, then view the jpg files with VB6.
This is a little (a lot) over my head.
Any suggestions?
Thanks..

Possibly a search on the Shell Functions and sendkeys...

Well ... you can; you just can't open them using LoadPicture.

As a starting point might I suggest you do a quick keyword search in this forum for some of my GDI+ examples.
