User (Legacy) Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 I am creating a picture annotation using the LoadFromFile method. When the file is not read only, everything works fine. But when the file is readonly, the LoadFromFile fails. We cannot ship the file with write permissions because it is a picture of our company logo. Is there a way to make the LoadFromFile work with our read only gif file? Thanks in advance, Diana Tetelman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 The problem here is with GIF files, from some reason which I think has to do with UNISYS licensing of GIF to Microsoft, the GIF Files fail to read from a "read-only" file. Use BMP, PNG or JPEG to overcome this problem. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted July 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 I wouldn't mind using a different format, except that the documentation says that only GIF files can be transparent and we need that ability. Is there another format that allows transparency?
