Finding the pixel size of a picture

[John]

Hi,

How do I find the width and height of a picture stored on my harddrive
(eg a JPEG) in pixels within Word VBA? I have Word 97.

Thanks...

You would have to insert it into an invis, temp document and read its
properties from there. Otherwise you would have to find a system
function that read the file header for you, or build such logic in
yourself from the file specifications.

Thanks, I thought I might have to temporarily insert it into the
document, even though I don't actually want to do this.

It looks like the easiest option s for me to read the picture into a
document temporaily. Do you have an example of how to read the
properties of the picture? I'm not interested in the size of the
picture in points after it is read into the document, but want to find
the size of the picture in pixels of the native file.

That would be the absolute pixel size / scale.

take a look at the code at the following location

It is a class module that you can use from a VBA project just as easily as
from a VB6 project.
