Is it possible to cast a xpImage (for Preview in the Control App) to a .NET System.Drawing.Image?

You can convert it from an xpImage to a Bitmap object using the xpTools library. Just add the xpTools .NET library to your project references in Visual Studio.

Here is a C# snippet:



xpImage Image;

Bitmap bmp;

// assuming xpScene is already holding a valid Scene

xpScene.GetRenderedFrame(0, 1920, 1080, out Image)

bmp = xpTools.xpImageToBitmap(Image);



Once you have a Bitmap you can assign it to the Image property of a PictureBox control to display on a form. (Or anything else you want to do with the Bitmap object)

Thanks... but the version 5.1 has only the function ImageToPicture or ImageToFile. The ImageToPicture function returns a stdole.IPicture. So you have to convert this in a System.Drawing.Image

Dim xpTool As New xpToolsLib.xpTools

imgPreview.Image = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.Support.IPictureToImage(xpTool.ImageToPicture(_Engine.ResultPage.PreviewImage))



The _Engine.ResultPage.PreviewImage returns a xpImage from project internal object.

I think you must be using the COM interface. If you use the .NET dll then you should have ImageToBitmap. How did you add the xpTools reference to your project?

#XPression

the comman like "Dim xpTool As New xpToolsLib.xpTools

imgPreview.Image = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.Support.IPictureToImage(xpTool.ImageToPicture(_Engine.ResultPage.PreviewImage))

The _Engine.ResultPage.PreviewImage returns a xpImage from project internal object."

where are document guide for it.point me where to download.

Thanks !
