Example Function in the gdiplus.dll is
Private Declare Function GdipLoadImageFromFile Lib "gdiplus.dll" (ByVal FileName As Long, GpImage As Long) As Long
It is not clear to me how use this. In a vb example the FileName is forced to a pointer by StrPtr(FileName).
This seems to be my problem, I have tried the adapt - value and pointer. I get an error.
