hi,

i m trying to do image convertion through GIMP. we got excellent result while converting EPS files to GIF. We tried the same through Visual Basic in order to automate the process. Unfortunately we are unable to import the GIMP dll in Visula Basic.

Is it possible to do so and activate GIMP through VB?

Visual basic is not a supported language for GIMP extensions - i fyou want to automate the process, you have to write your script in either Python or scheme (tiny-fu).

That happens because GIMP is not a windows only application which exports its functions through windows DOM - it is rather a multiplatform application, that can work equally well across several Operating Systems.

Also- the quetion is of-topic here - the gimp-users mailing-list (and its equivaletn webforum gateway, wathever that is) should be used for this. The gimp-docs list is for questions related to the gimp-help system and its development.

js ->

could any one help us?

Bullshit :)

You absolutely can write plug-ins in Visual Basic for GIMP via GIMP Sharp since v0.14. This means a dependency on Mono, though.

Ram - pretty sure its Alexandre you should be thanking for the info on

gimp-sharp, unless you were grateful to hear that what you wanted to do was not possible ;-)
