Developers wanting to add image and image device control functionality to their applications will and to check out this new, redistributable dll provided by Microsoft intended to replace functionality introduced with the Wang and Kodak image controls provided in older versions of Windows. Prior to the introduction of Windows XP, the Wang/Kodak control and libraries formed part of the operating system installation (were not redistributable) and provided the only inherent means to offer imaging display and manipulation without relying on third-party controls. However, Kodak Imaging for Windows program and the related controls (ImgScan.ocx, ImgAdmin.ocx, ImgEdit.ocx, and ImgThumb.ocx) are not included with Windows XP.

The readme file indicates the Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0 is only designed to support the PNG, BMP, JPG, GIF and TIFF image formats. It should not be relied upon to support other formats, though they may appear to be supported depending on system configuration. Â

The download contains the dll, help files, installation instructions and a rash of assorted VB-based demos (and no, it does not contain the image shown ... that's my desktop background):

But for the true devotees, finishing the storyâ€”beating Razor and reclaiming your carâ€”wasn't the end. It was merely the beginning of a far more obsessive journey: A "100% Complete" profile in MW2005 is not

In the pantheon of arcade racing games, Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) holds a unique, almost mythical status. For many, it wasnâ€™t just a game; it was a lifestyle. The gritty, amber-hued city of Rockport, the relentless pursuit of the M3 GTR, and the iconic Blacklist of 15 racers provided a perfect blend of customization, police brutality, and breakneck speed. Salute them

Instructions for proper installation of the dll and the help files are included in the readme.txt located in the main installation directory. The readme.txt in the samples folder contains the information above. Developers using wiaaut.dll are granted license to freely redistribute the library with their application as detailed in the redist.txt file inside the zip. (Only this dll is listed in this file, soÂ don't overwrite your VB directory's redist.txt with this file!)

This file is provided by VBnet as a service to developers. Any support issues for this product should not be sent to VBnet.
