Convert multipage TIFF Image to GDI+

Hi All,

I'm needing to convert a compressed or otherwise formatted image with LEADTools to a GDI+ image for custom GDI+ drawing. The problem is that when I use the RasterImageconverter.ConvertToImage it is only taking the first page of the image... not all pages. is there another method or a flag to do this?


Dim oCodec As Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs = Nothing
Dim oImage As Leadtools.RasterImage = Nothing
Dim oGDIImage As System.Drawing.Image = Nothing

oCodec = New Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs

oImage = oCodec.Load(sImagePathToPrint)

oGDIImage = Leadtools.Drawing.RasterImageConverter.ConvertToImage(oImage, Leadtools.Drawing.ConvertToImageOptions.None)

There is no direct way to convert a Multipage RasterImage to Multi-frame System.Drawing.Image object and keep all pages.
To workaround this issue, you can use something like the following code:
+------------+
tempImage = codecs.Load(@"C:\DelMe\Multi.tif");
List<Image> images = new List<Image>();

for (int i = 1; i <= tempImage.PageCount; i++)
{
System.Drawing.Image oGDIImage;
tempImage.Page = i;
oGDIImage = Leadtools.Drawing.RasterImageConverter.ConvertToImage(tempImage, Leadtools.Drawing.ConvertToImageOptions.None);
images.Add(oGDIImage);        
}
+------------+

I actually stumbled on an easier method to do it. I simply save the image to a known GDI+ compatible temp file and then open with GDI+, in my case a CCITT4 TIFF. Once finished I clean up the temp file.
