I have been trying out the GDI+ examples on this forum and can not get them to run. I keep getting a "GdipDeleteEffect not found in GDIPLUS.dll" error message. I am using the version 2.05 of Jose's includes and my GDIPLUS.dll is version 5.2.6 dated in 2010. Anyone have any ideas?
GDIPLUS 1.0 is the only one you can redistribute, effects requires GDI+ 1.1
My own graphic librairie has built-in effects to perform the same (and more) without the redistribute restriction of GDI+ 1.1, and with plain procedural model API (no need to use extra classes).
...
Thanks Patrice
Have tried to compile and run "CGDIP_DrawImage.BAS" example with no success. Also get a :"GdipDeleteEffect not found in GDIPLUS.dll" error message. I suppose there is no extra effects in example.
In short - what to do to be able to compile and run Jose gdiplus object ??
You need GdiPlus 1.1, that comes with Vista/Widows 7. For some reason, M$ does not allow to redistribute version 1.1, so you can't use it in Windows XP.
Thanks Jose - it is my bad because I still have some XP computers.
Looks like they want to kill XP by brute force, not allowing to use anything new with it. There was a time when they released updates for older OSEs whenever possible, but no longer. Don't know if it is because of technical problems or on purpose. Why they allowed to redistribute GDI+ 1.0, but aren't allowing to redistribute version 1.1?
Yep,
