Why is there no corresponding SaveImage function? (2) VS 20 Express both support a LoadImage function that doesn't require inclusion of dozens of exotic *.h files. (2) Do Express versions of Visual Studio not support GDI and WIC? If not, why don't MSDN and and other C++ website forums simply say so? In one of my source files generates over 100 errors during compilation.ĪLL of the errors are syntax errors in SDK *.h files referenced by

My experience with these erstwhile solutions has been dismal. The "answers" that I have seen to this question require GdiPlus.h and/or wincodec.h and/or a host of other include files that do notĬompile on my PC under MS VS 2010 C++ Express or under MS VS 2013 C++ Express. (1) How does one save bitmap image to a file in PNG format? Please, anyone, answer any of these as best you can. NONE of the related code examples I've seen on this website or elsewhere work on my PC.

However, I have yet to decipher the mystery that is GDI and that which is WIC. My O/S is 64-bit Win 7 Home Edition, and for about 3 years now, I have been successfully creating Win-32 apps using MS VS 2010 C++ Express. This is a closed topic which, IMO, was not addressed satisfactorily.
