IPictureDisp object, such as the ones off of pictureboxes, etc.

Just set a reference to stdole2.tlb and it will be right there
waiting for you. :-)

the ref and call
SavePicture ipd, "<your filename>
I do this sort of thing all the time with StdPicture and its
IPicture* equivalents.

the MSDN well of COM documentation trying to find out how to create the
pointer to the STREAM that is required for SaveAsFile.
I'm looking at IStorage::OpenStream. Am I warm, hot or freezing cold?
:-)
Thanks.

my IPicture interface created via OleCreatePictureIndirect. I've drawn
into this Bitmap and now I want to add a File Save method to the Class
wrapper. I thought I could use the IPicture SaveAsFile method. Is this
method only for a StdPicture opened by an OLE API?
Basically I'm trying to duplicate the Visual Basic SavePicture
statement.
I'm going to Chapters Bookstore this afternoon to find a book(s)
explaining the backgound I'm obviously missing on OLE.

obviously your suggestion worked the first time.
I'm going to put my life jacket on and jump back into the well of COM.

The easiest way for VB Programmers to get a *IStream (IStream interface
pointer) is through the API function CreateStreamOnHGlobal, which requires
the use of GlobalAlloc. You can create an HGLOBAL, pass it to the
CreateStream function (or not..pass NULL and CreateStream will create an
HGLOBAL) and pass this pointer to anything that needs an IStream. When the
action is complete..just bulk copy the contents of the HGLOBAL into either a
local byte array, or into a file.
If you don't want to use IDL to define a VB friendly version of IStream,
just treat IStream as a long (pointer). You don't actually need to use any
of the IStream methods. Of course this is no help if you are using Compound
documents.
Any questions, just email me.

I thought that the main API listing at MSDN would have all of the API's.
I am slowly finding out this is not a true statement.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/msdnlib.idc?theURL=/library/psdk/psdkref
/alphafunc_3bjm.htm
THis is the 3rd time in 3 weeks I have gone looking for an API in the
main alphabetical listing with no luck. After reading your post I
checked my latest copy of MSDN on disk, and sure enough, the API's were
listed there.
I guess I've learned that the COM API's are not in the generic Win32 API
listing.
Thanks again for your time Patrick. I've just purchased 2 more COM
books. That makes a total of 5 books dedicated to COM. Do you have to
read 10 before you really understand what's going on? <BG>
(my brain hurts :-)
