The doc included in the 2.01 GFL SDK doesn't have GFLAx help

Post by bob_chauvin »

I downloaded the GFL SDK http://www.xnview.com/download/GflSDKSetup.exe

The Help dir has one file, and it doesn't contain any specific notes on the GFLAx.

I did find an older version from this page.

Is there an update available?

Thank you for your help while I learn this tool.

Specific question about GetPicture

Post by bob_chauvin »

Powerbuilder has a Blob datatype that supports binary data.

What data type does the GetPicture return? Is it returning a pointer, or the actual image data?

Should I be using the sendbinary method?

Thanks

Got a basic sample working.

I got a simple sample for PowerBuilder working. I'll post the sample later on.

The basic process is to Create an OLEobject and ConnectTonewobject("GFLAX.GFLAX") , Perform a LoadBitmap, and then get the image into a Blob using the SendBinary method.

Pierre,

I redownloaded the GFLSdk 2.01 from your www.xnview.com site. The only help file I could find was in the Help dir, dated 12/11/2003, 88k.

If you go to the http://quickwired.com/kallahar/smallpro ... s/Help.chm, it is an older help file, but contains help specific to the GFLAx, which is NOT in the GFLSDK 2.01 download.

Am I missing something?

help file

Post by BlackBurn »

What Bob ment was that there is no help for GFLax in the help file only in the older version, that is in the link that bob has given above.

It is a bummer that the merge function isn't available in the old help file.

The GflAx Help is still missing in your release. I take a look at the
the old one mentionned above but some functions are not documented :
- ExportToClipBoard
- FreeBitmap ( set to Nothing isn't enough to free memory ?)
- Reload

No problem for the moment. I only try it with less than 10 images to reduce. But I want to use GflAx to do it with 10 thousands. If I have some memory pb, I will post it :wink:
