Reading EXIF data from TIF files with VB6

Post by ErikJan »

I'm trying to read EXIF data from TIF files using VB6. Found some links on the net, using something called GDI+ but I can't (yet) really get it to work. Anyone with some working code examples maybe that could get me started?

I haven't used it myself, but this appears to be working code:

Yeah, that's the one I found too... Got the code but it doesn't compile, needs a tlb file I believe which I can't find...

Found it; my next challenge will be to get VB6 on Win7 64 --- I'll post this question in a new thread...

I haven't found really free examples (those promising to be free turned out to be trial downloads of commercial software), but you may be able to use X360 EXIF Viewer - it's not too expensive.
Best wishes,
