Introduction
This program
reads a graphics
file in
EMF format and writes it out as
WMF. It
can be useful as a basic command line tool
or as a starting off point for writing a
GDI+
program. It also has an example of
char
to wchar
string conversion.
Background
A legacy
application I support requires
WMF as
input. One day the upstream application that
provides graphical input was "upgraded" and
started producing
EMF files instead of
WMF files.
Having spent some time away from C++ and
GDI+, it
was not a simple process to cobble together
this simple program in a format. The bulk of
the program was taken from an MSDN example,
but actually getting it to compile and link
was the majority of the time sink. I used
some examples from here to get me started,
but what was missing was a simple tiny toy
console project and solution that worked.
