Hi Frank
Exactly what I needed - funnily enough I had experimented with GetThumbnailImage but as your link points out
The function GetThumbnailImage can be used to get a resized image, but the result may come with less quality. The sample below does the same thing, but creates an image with a better quality.
Many thanks - problem solved.

Unfortunately Alan's ResizeImage function won't work in this case. The source is 256x256 and the required target is 180x140. Using ResizeImage with the required target size produces an image which is 140x140.
I am sure that there is a way to do this with GDIPlusX. By the way, my original BMP is created on-the-fly (using GDIPlusX) and never has a disk presence (although I could save it to disk).

Take a look at the Windows Image Acquisition API, the link below is a method that I use to resize images from a signature pad.
