Displaying Images Using imgdecmp.dll and VOImage

Environment: WinCE 3.0 \ Pocket PC 2002 : MVCE 3.0 PPC 2002 SDK: MCF

Display images using imgdecmp.dll and modifed VOImage wrapper class. ( I took the liberty of making CVOImage::g_iScale public -> I should keep this private and create set\get (limited time).)

This shows how to use Pocket PCs IMGDECMP.dll image processor through the free CVOImage class libraries. Using embeded Visual C++ and the Pocket PC 2002 SDK (MFC) I have created a simple image viewer which loads graphics files from disk. Tested on iPaq 3850.

The program looks for files in \My Documents\album\ and adds them to a combobox. The image is displayed when clicked ( or scrolled to ) in the combo box. You should create a folder named 'album' under 'My Documents' and put any images you would like to view in there.

See http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/developer/technicalarticles/graphics.asp to display images loaded as resources.

Using IMGDECMP.dll

Microsoft uses the IMGDECMP DLL in Microsoft Internet Explorer for the Pocket PC to display JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, and other standard graphics file formats. There are several reasons for using the IMGDECMP DLL to decode the graphics in your own applications:

• By using a common component such as the IMGDECMP DLL, you reduce the memory footprint of your application.


• You will not be shipping the decoding code with your product, so you can avoid licensing patented code, such as the GIF format, which is owned by CompuServe and normally requires a licensing royalty.


• Performance is very good.


• The code has been tested thoroughly and is very stable.


• You can code directly to the IMGDECMP DLL if you wish. Conduits Technologies has an excellent Web site dedicated to this.
