$gui_browser = GUICtrlCreatePic($u, 10, 320, 780, 300)
GUICtrlSetImage ($gui_browser, $u)

1) Im writing a picture viewer / filer

2) I asked howto display a tiff

3) I allready have bmp's working

4) whats the point of writing an app for viewing tiffs if your solution is to have the end user export each individual tiff to bmp, its not very autoit is it ?

So I ask again does any1 have a solution for displaying a TIFF file - read Valuater a "TIFF" file, not a BMP.

If autoit is unable to display tiff's at all please let me know, but Im sure it must have some way of achieving it given how many other windows objects can be embedded.

No tiff display built-in to AutoIt (that I know of) but this post http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...=0&p=366854

by big_daddy embeds Windows' native picture viewer into a Gui, might help?

You could always use those _GDIP_ functions from the Auto3Lib. They're Windows GDI+ functions and support opening tiffs etc. It works in a bit peculiar way, but I'll try to help if you can't make it work.

Thanks alot guys, embedding the windows picture viewer works a treat.
