**How do I convert a FILE* to an IStream**

Sep 7th, 2007

How do I convert a FILE* to an IStream!

Using GDI+, I want to save an HBITMAP to a disk file as JPG.

However, I am doing this within a legacy function that provides an already opened FILE* as a parameter.

I have found nothing in the docs.

 c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
static Bool sys_ImageToFileJPEG (HBITMAP hImage, FILE* pFile)
{
    Bool	fRet	= FALSE;
 
  if (hImage && pFile)
  {
      Gdiplus::Bitmap	image ((HBITMAP)hImage, (HPALETTE)0);
 
      if (image.GetLastStatus() == Gdiplus::Ok)
      {
          CLSID  encoderClsid;
 
          wimg_GetEncoderClsid (L"image/jpg", encoderClsid);
 
          // will not work - Save() wants an IStream!!!
          Gdiplus::Status hr = image.Save (pFile, &encoderClsid);
 
          if (Gdiplus::Ok == hr)
          {
             fRet = true;
          }
      }
  }
 
  return (fRet);
}
static Bool sys_ImageToFileJPEG (HBITMAP hImage, FILE* pFile)
{
    Bool	fRet	= FALSE;

  if (hImage && pFile)
  {
      Gdiplus::Bitmap	image ((HBITMAP)hImage, (HPALETTE)0);

      if (image.GetLastStatus() == Gdiplus::Ok)
      {
          CLSID  encoderClsid;

          wimg_GetEncoderClsid (L"image/jpg", encoderClsid);

          // will not work - Save() wants an IStream!!!
          Gdiplus::Status hr = image.Save (pFile, &encoderClsid);

          if (Gdiplus::Ok == hr)
          {
             fRet = true;
          }
      }
  }

  return (fRet);
}
