Hi,

is it possible to call a ActiveX DLL, like FreeImage.dll from PB? Maybe with some API-stuff or some assembler-code?

Reason is, i need a stable JPEG-Loading-Routine. FreeImage gives lightning fast and stable JPEG-decoding, but i can't call it with the Mr.Skunks DLL lib.

Or can someone direct me to a alternative DLL for ImageLoading? Besides FreeImage.dll i only knows NViewlib.dll, but this dll has some difficulties with big JPEGs

ActiveX dll's are com servers really... Can't call them directly. But there might be a way someone could write a "thunk" layer as a go-between... I'm curious about this as well.

Fred... Think we could get some COM object support?
