Ivan's ImageToXcel

[ExcelChampion]

I am rarely impressed. However, I was beyond impressed when I saw this...I was in awe.

I never in my dreams would have thought VBA could read the pixels in an image.

Ivan, I think I speak for everyone when I say you are a true programming Guru and your out-of-the-box thinking and creativity astounds.

Hi Todd,

That is really smoking.

Also of potential interest, this graphics program is pretty built with another high-level language, C# (with a little C++):

Also, if you want to see some insanely good graphics manipulation with VB6, check some of the posts by this person on GDI+ algorithms:

This particular individual does some prettty insane stuff with images and classic VB!

Okay, so when I first got my digital camera, I didn't quite get how to properly use it and was notorius for shooting off pictures with really bad red-eye. Hey, give me a break, I'm a numbers guy. :wink:

In any event, I showed that particular person the following picture:

You know what he says? GDI to the rescue! He used a custom VB application that he wrote to render the following:

I played around with red-eye reduction techniques in Adobe Photoshop and Paint.Net and couldn't even come close to the results that he, very quickly, came up with using GDI+ and VB6.

Of course, this kind of talent isn't exactly normal, in my opinion, that's a bit of a freak-show (in a a really good way) and if you play around with GDI+, you'll probably agree...

But yes, for a high-level language, you can do some pretty amazing stuff with VB[A].

Steven Lebans came up with a great technique for coercing an image to a Byte Array in Access, which I turn have used to marshal images from Access to Excel:

That's extremely fast, and slick.

In any event, nice work Mr. Moala!
