IImagingFactory::CreateImageFromFile (Windows CE 5.0)
This method lets an application create a decoded image object from a file.
HRESULT CreateImageFromFile( const WCHAR* filename, IImage** image);
Parameters
- filename
[in] A WCHAR array containing the name of the source file. - image
[out] A pointer to the resulting IImage interface pointer.
Return Values
If successful, this method returns S_OK.
This method may return E_POINTER if it fails.
Remarks
When the decoded image object is created, it only keeps a reference to the external data source and does not immediately decode the image. The decoded image opens the file in read-only mode and allows shared-read access to it.
Be aware that decoded image objects are read-only. In particular, you cannot modify the image data. However, you can display it onto a destination graphics context or push its data into an image sink. For more information, see IImage.
