Remarks

Use a FormatID Constants constant as the value for the FormatID parameter for the ShowAcquireImage, ShowTransfer, and Transfer methods. You can also use a FormatID Constants constant as the value of the FormatID property in a "Convert" filter to specify the format that results from the conversion.

The following example shows how to determine if the file returned from ShowAcquireImage is a JPEG file.

Dim Img 'As ImageFile

Set Img = CommonDialog1.ShowAcquireImage(UnspecifiedDeviceType, _
                                         UnspecifiedIntent, _
                                         MaximizeQuality, _
                                         wiaFormatJPEG)
If Img.FormatID <> wiaFormatJPEG Then
    MsgBox "Device does not support JPEG files"
End If
