How to view TIF files using VFP 5.0?

[Rick Bean]

Eisen,
Support for TIF isn't "native" in VFP until 8.0. Before that, you'll need to use a third-party graphics control to view TIF files. Depending on the options you need (resizing, zooming, conversion, etc.) you can chose from a number of freeware, shareware and commercial OCX's.

Since VFP 5.0, 6.0, and 7.0 do not natively view TIF files, you need use
an ActiveX control to display the TIF file.

I did a quick search on Universalthread and found a few tools that handle
TIF images. Go to www.universalthread.com, click on the Download icon, and
choose Visual FoxPro as the product. In the Summary text box of the query
page, search for "TIF.

Visual FoxPro 8.0 has the capability to display TIF files without using a
third-party control.

I hope this helps.
